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 this a known problem? I could not find any log file.

Regards,

Edwin

The problem is that distutils by default catches exceptions. You may get
a traceback when you set the DISTUTILS_DEBUG environment variable to '1'
before running the build:

set DISTUTILS_DEBUG=1
python setup.py build...

Thanks, setting DISTUTILS_DEBUG to 1 gave me some useful information. It
appears that distutils\msvc9compiler.py can not find the file
vcvarsall.bat
when calling
query_vcvarsall(VERSION, plat_spec)
That makes sense, because there is no vcvarsall.bat on my system; it
should use vcvars32.bat instead. I'll try to debug it tomorrow.
