[wxPython] Troubles compiling wxpython2.2.2 under MSW

Hey,

I have a problem to build a debug version from wxPython 2.2.2.
I download the sources from wxWindows and wxPython. Then I build wxWindows -
no error.
After I start the build of wxPython I receive an fatal error:

python setup.py build_ext --debug --inplace
.
.
.

        (compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 1794)
         Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++
         Help menu, or open the Technical Support help file for more
information

error: command 'cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

I use Visual C++ 6 with service pack 3 under Win2k (service pack 1) and
python 1.5.2.

I try to compile the wx.cpp into the VC IDE. I get the same error message.
But after if I comment out the error line or disable the "Enable exception
handling" flag , the compiler detect no error.

Any ideas?

Dirk

I used to get this error too and the old build system added /GX- to the
flags to get around it. When I switched to using distutils the problem went
away and so I figured it was something to do with a new set of compiler
flags that fixed it.

If you edit setup.py and make the code around line 154 look like this then
you can do the same workaround:

    cflags = ['/GX-'] # workaround for internal compiler error in MSVC
    lflags = None

    if not FINAL and HYBRID:
        cflags = cflags + ['/Od', '/Z7']
        lflags = ['/DEBUG', ]

error: command 'cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

I use Visual C++ 6 with service pack 3 under Win2k (service pack 1) and
python 1.5.2.

You might try SP4 as that is what I have and as I said I don't get the error
any more.
