[New-bugs-announce] [issue14559] (2.7.3 Regression) PC\8.0 directory can no longer be used to build on windows

[Mitchell Blank Jr]

New submission from Mitchell Blank Jr <m-python at bodyfour.com>:

In the diff between 2.7.2 and 2.7.3, we see:

--- Python-2.7.2/PCbuild/pythoncore.vcproj      2011-06-11 08:46:27.000000000 -0700

                                >
                        </File>

...however there isn't any similar change to PC\VS8.0\pythoncore.vcproj , PC\VS7.1\pythoncore.vcproj, nor PC\VC6\pythoncore.dsp

I don't know if any of those are deprecated, but the VS8.0 .vcproj's definitely worked in 2.7.2.  In 2.7.3 the missing random.obj file causes python27.dll to fail to link and everything goes downhill from there.

Hand-applying the same change to the PC\VS8.0 directory fixed the problem for me.
