    The PCbuild9.zip include solution and project files upgraded from
    PCbuild/PCbuild8 with some modification.

    To build with such a configuration, the following libraries are needed.

    wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.4.16-src.tar.gz
    wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tk8.4.16-src.tar.gz
    wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tix/Tix8.4.2-src.tar.gz
    wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.6.21.tar.gz
    wget http://www.bzip.org/1.0.4/bzip2-1.0.4.tar.gz
    wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
    wget http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-source-3_5_2.zip

    If your PCBuild is .......\dist\src\PCbuild\,

    1. unpack these libraries into new subdirectories of dist\.
    2. unpack PCbuild9.zip into dist\src\.
    3. rename tix-8.4.2 to tix8.4.2, and apply tix8.4.2.patch in dist
      directory.
    4. apply socketmodule.c.patch in dist\src directory.

    Several tools are needed too.

    1. VC Express 2008 beta2
      wget http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=95599

    2. Windows SDK
      Microsoft ? Windows Server? 2003 R2 Platform SDK
      http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0BAF2B35-C656-
      4969-ACE8-E4C0C0716ADB&displaylang=en
      OR
      Microsoft? Windows? Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows Server
      code name “Longhorn” and .NET Framework 3.5
      http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=58726aca-8d84-
      4683-8959-be0038da7084&displaylang=en

    3. mingw + msys(to build sqlite3)
      http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/
      these are necessary:
      gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz
      gcc-core-3.4.5-20060117-1.tar.gz
      mingw32-make-3.81-2.tar.gz
      binutils-2.17.50-20060824-1.tar.gz
      MSYS-1.0.10.exe

    4. ml.exe
      I extract it from VC Express 2005. ml.exe is included in MASM 8.0, but
      MASM8.0 can not be installed with VC express 2008, it just can be
      installed with VC Express 2005.

    you can follow dist\src\PCbuild9\README.txt to build libraries and
    python, the order I recommend is :
    0. Use "Start -> All Programs -> Visual C++ 9.0 Express Edition
    -> Visual Studio Tools ->Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 Command
    Prompt"
    to get a shell window with the correct environment settings

    1. tcl8.4.16
      cd dist\tcl8.4.16\win
      nmake -f makefile.vc
      nmake -f makefile.vc INSTALLDIR=..\..\tcltk install

    2. tk8.4.16
      cd dist\tk8.4.16\win
      nmake -f makefile.vc TCLDIR=..\..\tcl8.4.16
      nmake -f makefile.vc TCLDIR=..\..\tcl8.4.16 INSTALLDIR=..\..\tcltk
      install

    3. tix8.4.2
      cd dist\tix8.4.2\win
      set MSVCDIR = %VCINSTALLDIR%
      nmake -f python.mak
      nmake -f python.mak install

    4. db-4.6.21
      Open in VC Express, the .dsw need to be converted to .sln, just compile
      db_static in both Release x86 and Debug x86.

    5. sqlite3
      I recommend you to have a try on mingw + msys, it's very easy, just
      need to excute several command:
      ./configuration
      make
      make dll
      lib /DEF:sqlite3.def /MACHINE:IX86

    If you are afraid of mingw+msys, You can get sqlite3.dll and sqlite3.h
    by
    svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/external/sqlite-source-
    3.3.4
    but by this way, you need to change options in dist\src\PCbuild9
    \pyproject.vsprops.

    1. python2.6
      Open dist\src\PCbuild9\pcbuild.sln in VC Express, compile all project
      in both Release win32 and Debug win32.
      After you build, run build.bat to copy .pyd etc to PCbuild9:
      build.bat -c Release -p win32
      build.bat -c Debug -p win32

    2. openssl-0.9.8g
      Invoke build_ssl.pyp in dist\src\PCbuild9\. you need to copy .pyd
      and .lib from x86-temp-debug and x86-temp-release.

    I am trying to have a test on the *fresh* built python26, I also plan
    to patch msi.py so that msi.py can make a productive installer, any
    suggest are welcome.

    I've removed the ml.exe. Please do NOT upload copyright protected
    material here.

    You should really coordinate your effort with us. :) I've already
    created a PCbuild9 directory in the py3k source tree. Once it is
    finished I'm going to backport it to 2.6. I'll have a look if I can use
    some of your ideas.

    My PCbuild9 directory builds all of the dependencies except of tcltk
    automatically - including separate 64bit builds.

    hi tiran, thanks for your suggest. :-) what can i do in the next? it's
    my pleasure to contribute my effort to python.

    It's seems that directory configurations of Visual Studio 2005/Visual C
    Express 2008 are stored in
    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application
    Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\VCComponents.dat
    or
    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application
    Data\Microsoft\VCExpress\9.0\VCComponents.dat
    devenv.exe/VCExpress.exe must be run first, this file will be created
    automatically.

    [VC\VC_OBJECTS_PLATFORM_INFO\Win32\Directories]
    Include Dirs=$(VCInstallDir)include;$(VCInstallDir)
    atlmfc\include;$(WindowsSdkDir)\include;$(FrameworkSDKDir)include

    bin;$(FrameworkDir)$(FrameworkVersion);$(VSInstallDir);$(SystemRoot)
    \SysWow64;$(FxCopDir);$(PATH)

    SCons has done some work on detecting msvc compiler. :-)

    msi.py should extract msvcrxx.dll from *Merge Modules* or *redist*
    directory.

    Have you studied my patch http://bugs.python.org/issue1455? I didn't
    want to parse some files. Instead I used a much simpler approach in my
    patch. I'm using the "vcvarsall.bat" to set up an environment and "set"
    to read the new environment from stdout. It works like a charm and it
    could even support cross compiling.

    The PCbuild9 directory works for 2.6 and 3.0.
