[omniORB] Python needed for Win32 VC8 binary distribution (4.0.7)?

[Greco Van der Ven]

Hello,

 

I have installed the binary distribution 4.0.7 for Windows, VC8, and
although the documentation states that I do not need to install the full
version of Python, I'm starting to have my doubts if that is true.

 

Dependency walker tells me that omniidl.exe depends on python24.dll
which is not in the distribution. Obviously it is also not in the
omnipython package that is four years old now and doesn't seem to get
updated (it's on python 1.5).

 

I don't want to make my workspace more complex than it already is by
having to install extra tools that I might not really need. Installing
being the key word here; unzipping and setting some environment
variables would be acceptable if that's what it takes. (I would like to
be able to put the entire working folder including all tools like
omniorb in a version control database. Someone else should be able to
get a local copy, run a "setprojectenvironment.bat" file and compile the
whole thing. We want to avoid installing software "the Windows way" as
much as possible).

 

I already tried putting the python24.dll in the bin/x86_win32 folder,
but then I get other errors which seem to come from python itself:

    'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

    Traceback (most recent call last):

      File "<string>", line 1, in ?

    ImportError: No module named os

 

 

Could anyone tell me if I really need the full Python package? Or is
there another way to do this?

 

Thanks,

Greco
