Hi all,
The build is still failing on winXP 64-bit, as shown on the buildbot page
http://buildbot.scipy.org/Windows%20XP%20x86_64%20MSVC/builds/25/step-shell/...
with the error
AttributeError: MSVCCompiler instance has no attribute '_MSVCCompiler__root'
Could someone familiar with the MSVC compilers please take a look?
I think the problem is in the environment of the buildbot machine `Windows XP x86_64 MSVC`. Basically, I would try setting the following environment variables in this machine: DISTUTILS_USE_SDK and MSSdk Then the build might succeed. For more information, read the code in Python distutils/msvccompiler.py file. Pearu
