I had the same problem – actually there were two problems.  First the Python.Runtime.key file from my cvs download didn’t work; I used the file from the binary install.  Second, the makefile is not understood by MS DevStudio, so I went through the makefile and built it “by hand.”  In other words, I just manually built all the modules as specified in the makefile.

Alternatively, you could create a new MS DevStudio project and build it that way.

Subject: [Python.NET] Procedure for building Python.Runtime.dll

I was hoping to experiment with modifications to component files in the runtime.

Most just making some things public.

I cannot get nmake to work with the makefile in

\PythonNet-1.0-beta3\src

This is on both XP and 2k machines.  The nmake comes with Visual studio and on my system is found in

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio .NET 2003\sdk\v1.1\bin

Any thoughts?
