[python-win32] Problem building pywin32 for Python 3.5 on VS2015 with Windows SDK 10

[Chris Helvig]

Hi!

So I'm having trouble rebuilding pywin32. It seems like the Windows 10 SDK is different from what is expected by the latest version of pywin32. Is that correct? Should I just attempt to fix it myself, or is there something obvious I'm doing wrong? Here's what happens if I build normally.

Found version 0xa00 in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.10586.0\shared\SDKDDKVER.H

If I delete the following line (462) from win32job.i, I can get a fair bit further:
#define JOB_OBJECT_RESERVED_LIMIT_VALID_FLAGS JOB_OBJECT_RESERVED_LIMIT_VALID_FLAGS

Then, I get a bunch of errors that look like this:

If I go into com/win32comext/AXDebug/src/stdafx.h, and change line 29 from:

#if defined(__REQUIRED_RPCNDR_H_VERSION__)
To
#if 0

Then I can get even further. But then it dies again later, complaining about undefined symbols. I can fix that by going to line 369 of AXDebug.cpp, and changing them from this:
                ADD_CONSTANT(EX_DBGPROP_INFO_ID); // @const axdebug|EX_DBGPROP_INFO_ID|
                ADD_CONSTANT(EX_DBGPROP_INFO_NTYPE); // @const axdebug|EX_DBGPROP_INFO_NTYPE|
                ADD_CONSTANT(EX_DBGPROP_INFO_NVALUE); // @const axdebug|EX_DBGPROP_INFO_NVALUE|
                ADD_CONSTANT(EX_DBGPROP_INFO_LOCKBYTES); // @const axdebug|EX_DBGPROP_INFO_LOCKBYTES|
                ADD_CONSTANT(EX_DBGPROP_INFO_DEBUGEXTPROP); // @const axdebug|EX_DBGPROP_INFO_DEBUGEXTPROP|
To this:
                ADD_CONSTANT(EX_PROP_INFO_ID); // @const axdebug|EX_PROP_INFO_ID|
                ADD_CONSTANT(EX_PROP_INFO_NTYPE); // @const axdebug|EX_PROP_INFO_NTYPE|
                ADD_CONSTANT(EX_PROP_INFO_NVALUE); // @const axdebug|EX_PROP_INFO_NVALUE|
                ADD_CONSTANT(EX_PROP_INFO_LOCKBYTES); // @const axdebug|EX_PROP_INFO_LOCKBYTES|
                ADD_CONSTANT(EX_PROP_INFO_DEBUGEXTPROP); // @const axdebug|EX_PROP_INFO_DEBUGEXTPROP|

Fixing that, it dies in linking axdebug. And at this point, I have to ask if I'm doing something wrong. We should be on the latest published version of pywin32, so I'm a bit surprised that I'm needing to fix all these compile errors. Is that expected?

Thanks for any assistance!

Chris
