Thanks -- that would be great. But really, why is this so hard? Win64 is
essentially One platform, and the freely available SDK is ONE compiler
environment.
surely it's possible to write a batch script of some sort that you could
put somewhere (or even deliver with python! ) so this would be:
1) download and install THIS (the sdk from MS)
2) run:
set_up_win_complier.py
3) build the package:
python setup.py build
without needing to do multiple step, without needing to be in the special
set-up command Window, etc.
In fact, even better would be for distutils to run the mythical
"set_up_win_complier.py" script for you.
distutils does work "out of the box" with the VS2008 Express for 32 bit --
I'm still confused why this is so much harder for 64 bit.
*sigh*
