Running setup.py for wxPython 2.8.8.1 using the free MS Visual Studio 2008

Dear list,

I am trying to compile wxPython 2.8.8.1 for Win32 using the free MS
Visual Studio 2008 tools.

I have successfully compiled Python 2.6b2 with:
vcbuild pcbuild.sln "Release|Win32"

And I have successfully compiled wxWidgets with:
nmake -f makefile.vc SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=0 USE_OPENGL=1 USE_GDIPLUS=1
UNICODE=1 MSLU=1

However, when I try to compile the python module, I get the following
undescribed error:
..\..\Python-2.6b2\PCbuild\python.exe setup.py build_ext --inplace
MONOLITHIC=0 UNICODE=1 BUILD_GIZMOS=0 BUILD_STC=0
Preparing CORE...
Preparing GLCANVAS...
Preparing ACTIVEX...
running build_ext
building '_core_' extension
error: None

I don't see any log file. I this a known problem?

Regards,

Edwin

Not that I know of, but I haven't tried 2.6 on Windows yet... It actually just says "error: None" ? That's really weird.

Have you tried building any other extension modules for this Python? If they work then it might help track down what is wrong with wxPython's setup.
