[New-bugs-announce] [issue39952] Using VS2019 to automatically build Python3 and it failed to build

Thu Mar 12 23:46:39 EDT 2020

New submission from Lin Gao <gaolin01 at beyondsoft.com>:

We (the MSVC ++ team) is trying to use VS2019 to replace VS2017 to automatically build Python3(branch 3.6)on Windows. First build failed with error MSB8036: The Windows SDK version 10.0.10586.0 was not found. So we modified the build command line to 'build -e -r -v "/p:PlatformToolset=v142" "/p:WindowsTargetPlatformVersion=10.0.18362.0"' , error MSB8036 has disappeared, but triggers another error 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.18362.0\um\winnt.h(173,1): fatal error C1189: #error:  "No Target Architecture"'. After investigation, this error is reported whenever the F:\gitP\python\cpython\Modules\_io\_iomodule.c file is compiled. And this error will disappear when we add #include <windows.h> to the _iomodule.c file.But when I rebuilt again, I encountered many errors.

Does Python3 currently support VS2019 automated builds? If support Could you please help to take a look? Thank you so much!

Here is repro steps:
1. git clone -b "3.6" -c core.autocrlf=true https://github.com/python/cpython.git F:\gitP\python\cpython
2. Open a VS 2019 16.4.5 x86 command prompt and browse to F:\gitP\python\cpython
3. checkout the revision to f1f9c0c.
4. Add #include <windows.h> to the _iomodule.c.
5. cd F:\gitP\python\cpython\PCBuild
6. devenv /upgrade pcbuild.sln
7. build -e -r -v "/p:PlatformToolset=v142" "/p:WindowsTargetPlatformVersion=10.0.18362.0"
