64-bit Win 7 Professional, using default F7 debug build -- F7
Running as normal user, not admin.

3.4: built Thursday, Saturday; failed Wednesday, Friday, today Sunday.

7>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'D:\Python\dev\cpython\PCbuild\python34_d.dll'

I 'updated' back about 24 hours to rev 83828: worked. Forward to rev 83829: failed. This made no sense so back to '28: failed. Delete python34_d.dll: works. Update to tip: works. Try again: fails.

What I believe to be the case: if python34_d.dll is rebuilt, python_d.exe is built. If not, it 'cannot be opened' even though it is sitting there. I cannot be sure if this was always the case as I did not try to rebuild very ofter.

--
3.3 I have not been able to rebuild python_d.exe since May 7. I currently get

7>..\PC\pylauncher.rc(16): error RC2104: undefined keyword or key name: FIELD3 (for pywlauncher project)

10>..\PC\pylauncher.rc(16): error RC2104: undefined keyword or key name: FIELD3

9>..\PC\python_nt.rc(35): error RC2104: undefined keyword or key name: MS_DLL_ID (for pythoncore project)

Failure of pythoncore stops the dependent projects. I have no idea how I might work around this.

Windows 3.3 build still failed today. So I updated back to time it worked, and them skipped forward every so ofter to current, compiling each time, and it worked each time except for one problem that was fixed in the next commit. No problems with 3.4 currently, so closing.

FYI "hg bisect" makes this kind of tests a lot easier.
