[omniORB] EXT : Trying 4.1.7 on Visual Studio 12

Sat Nov 2 21:25:13 GMT 2013

Hi James -

The first question is your machine target (X64 or win32).  Based on your target (64-bit or 32-bit) you need to link with the appropriate Python dlls.  There are both a 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Python, and you must download the correct version of python to support the build.  You can have both Python implementations coexist on the same machine, but you have to set up some specific environment variables to do this (PYTHONPATH, PYTHONHOME).

The other issue I ran into when building VS2012 is that the make veryclean does not purge all the pdb files in the debug directories (codesets, dynamic, connections and orbcore) so you must explicitly delete these or a VC12 build will fail (if you are building the debug dlls).

Good luck,

Steve Obermaier

I figured I would give this a try on WIndows 7 and Visual Studio 12.0 (2013). (setting the platform to vs10).

There is some sort of python library issue (below).
The symbols in question are in the python27.lib which is referenced on the link line, but not with the __imp__ prefix.
(using dumpbin /exports).
I'm no WIndows or Python expert at all.  I tried two different precompiled python packages for windows, with the same error.
I have not yet tried building python from source on VS12.
I did notice that several of the "libpath" entries point to places that don't exist in python2.7, like "python27\lib\x86_win32" and "python27\PCBuild".

Any ideas?

Here are the errors:
