Has anybody built 2.3.4 on Win64, and if so, is there a preferred way? We built it by exporting the makefiles and twiddling with the linker options and pointer size in pyconfig.h, but that seems a bit kludgy.
I did (assuming you mean Itanium). I first tried it with that approach, then I talked Peter Tröger into developing vsextcomp, which is now used in the CVS. So unless you have a specific reason to use 2.3.4, I recommend to use 2.4.
I forgot to mention that the platform in question is AMD64, although we will be building on Itanium as well. Using 2.4 is not an option at this point. -- Nick
