bzip2 project sometimes fails to build pyd file. This is because

(snip)
nmake /nologo /f makefile.msc lib
(snip)
nmake /nologo /f makefile.msc clean

is run by bzip2.vcproj, but "lib" command won't create
bzip2.exe nor bzip2recover.exe, wheres "clean" will try
to delete these files without checking their existence.

Technically it is easy to fix this. (Replace "del ..." with
if exists ... del .....    in bzip2-1.0.5/makefile.msc)
But is it allowed to modify external project files? Thank you.

I propose following solution.

* svn copy http://svn.python.org/projects/external/bzip2-1.0.5
  http://svn.python.org/projects/external/bzip2-1.0.5.0

* fix makefile in 
  http://svn.python.org/projects/external/bzip2-1.0.5

* svn copy http://svn.python.org/projects/external/bzip2-1.0.5
  http://svn.python.org/projects/external/bzip2-1.0.5.1

Or, use "nmake /nologo /f makefile.msc" instead of
        "nmake /nologo /f makefile.msc lib".

Another solution would be not to make clean, but del *.obj.

However, I would prefer if we stopped using makefile.msc altogether,
and explicitly included the source files of bzip2 into bz2.vcproj, similar to the way _bsddb is built (in 2.7).

Thank you for the reply. I agree with you. I'll try to
create latter option.
msg116510 - (view) Author: Hirokazu Yamamoto (ocean-city) * (Python committer) Date: 2010-09-16 04:21
- create latter option
+ create the patch by latter option

Probably this patch works.

P.S.
These lines in PCBuild/vs9to8.py seem to be not needed. I could
build python even without it, (I only tried py3k)

  # Bah. VS8.0 does not expand macros in file names.
  # Replace them here.
  lines = lines.replace('$(sqlite3Dir)', '..\\..\\..\\sqlite-3.6.21')

I'm not sure, maybe VS8 SP1's bug? I tried on this.

  Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
  Version 8.0.50727.42  (RTM.050727-4200)

I can't test the patch right now, but it looks good to me.

Please check it into py3k to see how the buildbots do. If it seems to work correctly (both for x86 and AMD64), feel free to backport it to 2.7 and 3.1.

As for vs9to8: I can't comment; I don't use older VS versions anymore.
In any case, this looks like an unrelated issue.

Committed in r84851(py3k). Let's see buildbot.

Backported in r84881(release27-maint), r84886(release31-maint).
