@ -280,12 +280,21 @@ The build process for Visual C++ can be used almost unchanged with the free MS
Toolkit Compiler. This provides a way of building Python using freely
available software.
Note that Microsoft have withdrawn the free MS Toolkit Compiler, so this can
no longer be considered a supported option. The instructions are still
correct, but you need to already have a copy of the compiler in order to use
them. Microsoft now supply Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition for free, but this
is NOT compatible with Visual C++ 7.1 (it uses a different C runtime), and so
cannot be used to build a version of Python compatible with the standard
python.org build. If you are interested in using Visual C++ 2005 Express
Edition, however, you should look at the PCBuild8 directory.
Requirements
To build Python, the following tools are required:
* The Visual C++ Toolkit Compiler
from http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/
no longer available for download - see above
* A recent Platform SDK
from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=484269e2-3b89-47e3-8eb7-1f2be6d7123a
* The .NET 1.1 SDK
