Build problems

Hi again. I’m trying to produce the debug vesions of the wxPython dlls.

I’ve downloaded and build wxWindows 2.2.9 and wxPython 2.3.3.pre-5.

wxWindows built successfully (thanks for the excellent instructions

Robin). When building wxPython, I get the following:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\BIN\cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /MD /W3

Hi again. I'm trying to produce the debug vesions of the wxPython dlls.
I've downloaded and build wxWindows 2.2.9 and wxPython 2.3.3.pre-5.

You need to have matching versions of wxPython and wxWindows. If you want
wxWindows 2.2.9 then you can use the wxPython-2.2.7.tar.gz located at
wxPython - Browse Files at SourceForge.net.

If you want to use the 2.3.3 prerelease then there is a source snapshot at
that same page called wxPythonSrc-2.3.3pre5.tar.gz that includes both
wxWindows and wxPython source. If you use that then you'll want to use the
IN_CVS_TREE=1 flag when building wxPython.
