Summary: problem building python in vs8express

Initial Comment:
When I tried to build pythoncore in vc++8 express, it 
worked without a hitch until the link stage when i got 
an unresolved external _init_types. Python compiles 
just fine and pythonw compiles up to the link where it 
comes accross the same error. If I am suppose to 
contact someone else about my issue please sent me in 
the wright direction. my email is 
thomashsouthern at yahoo.com

thank you for your responses. after I answered your first question i went in search of 
the svn head for this project.  I started at www.python.org and went to the developement 
area. I found svn trunk where the files for python 2.6 were located. I appolgize if I 
appear ignorant but I have never been interested in an open source project enough to want 
to compile from scratch and maybe even try and see what I could contribute. I don't know 
if I found the right area. where I did find. I would need to download each file 
individually. also, the "solution items" with "getbuildinfo.c" was not recognized by the 
vc++ express compiler. My question is this, am I looking in the correct location for the 
files I am looking for to build the source myself.  also if this brings me out of the 
preview of the purpose of this thread please direct me to the proper location to continue 
to ask questions I might have as I try to understand my way around this project.  thank 
you for your patients and help.

So could you please retry with the SVN HEAD?

Which version of the sources are you using? I think this is
fixed in the SVN HEAD.
