[New-bugs-announce] [issue46582] Windows builds fail: fatal error RC1116: RC terminating after preprocessor errors

[ntrischi]

New submission from ntrischi <ntrischi at protonmail.com>:

Compiling Python3.8.9 from source on Windows 10 with VS2019. Running PCBuild\build.bat, I'm getting the following issue:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.22000.0\um\winnt.h(253): error RC2188: C:\Python-3.8.9\PCbuild\obj\38amd64_Release\pythoncore\RCa09752(53) : fatal error RC1116: RC terminating after preprocessor errors [C:\Python-3.8.9\PCbuild\pythoncore.vcxproj]

I noticed this issue (https://bugs.python.org/issue45220) is closed but it doesn't seem to be resolved.
