[C++-sig] building modules with MSVC

[Brian O'Kennedy]

It's certainly possible.

* Create a project in Visual Studio, set the output type to DLL.
* Go to Linker->Output and name the DLL as mymodule.pyd (pyd's are just DLLs
on Windows).
* Set the Additional Library paths to where you keep your boost python stub
lib for linking.
* You might need to specify the folder to the python lib too.
* Including the boost python headers will automatically cause the stub lib
to be linked against.

This is from memory so might be missing out a step or two.

Hope this helps,
 Brian
