 Hello,

 dummy.obj (or dummydll.obj) is created during wxWindowx build normally. It's
purpose is to create the precompiled header file (pch) which is used by
everything else, but this is not the point: the question is why wasn't it
created. What compiler are you using? With VC++ it surely is...

 BTW, why do you want to build wxPython yourself? For Win32 you could just use
the binaries.
