    Windows Installer with Debug Dlls and Libs

    Hello,

    I have a problem with python builds since some time.

    On windows, it is not a good idea to link your debug build to release
    builds of libs and dlls.

    But python installer gives you only release builds.

    So I need to build python myself, no problem, but ....

    I have never managed to setup python like the way installer does. (I
    guess it does some registry and env var tricks.) For example,

    - it is not possible to install extensions like wxPython, because the
    wxPython installer doesn't like my custom installation
    - WinCVS never gets my custom python installation

    and so on.

    Can you give me any hints on this nasty problem ?

    Thanks,

    DE

      I haven't tested with a debug build of wxPython, but if you use the
      ActivePython distro you can get a package with the debug DLLs.

      The main installer:
      Page not found - ActiveState
      http://ftp.activestate.com/ActivePython/windows/2.4/ActivePython-2.4.1-245-win32-ix86.msi

      The package of debug bits:
      Page not found - ActiveState
      http://ftp.activestate.com/ActivePython/etc/ActivePython-2.4.1-245-win32-ix86-debug.zip


      Cheers,
      Trent

          Thanks Trent. That's good news.

          Does ActivateState produce the debug package everytime they build a
          python release ?

          If this is a policy at ActivateState, I will feel myself on better
          grounds :)

          Ciao,

              Yes, we do.
