    Missing sqlite3.h Error when Building Debug Python -- Windows Vista

    I am a complete newbie at building Python. I am trying to build it
    under MS Windows Vista (64-bit AMD) with MS VS2005. I'm doing that
    because I need debug libraries, which I did not see in the standard
    distribution.

    I downloaded the source and found the MSVS8 solution/project files.
    However, when I tried to build it I got the following error:

    ....\python-2.5.2\modules\_ sqlite\connecti on.h(33) : fatal error C1083:
    Cannot open include file: 'sqlite3.h': No such file or directory

    I searched on the web, and at one place it said I would just need to
    download sqlite3.h from sqlite.org. I looked around there, but I
    could not find the source for sqlite 3.3.4. I went back and reread
    the PCbuild8\readme .txt file, and it mentions using the following
    command to download the sqlite:

    svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/exter...e-source-3.3.4

    Do I really need to get the whole thing, or will just sqlite3.h
    resolve the build problem. As far as I know, I don't really need
    sqlite. If I do need to execute that svn command, how do I execute
    that under MS Windows?

    Or is there some other way in which to circumvent this error?

    Thanks,

      I'll leave others to comment on whether or not
      it's expected to build with VS2005, but the easiest
      way to get a debug build is to pretend to be a buildbot.

      1) Check out the python source into, say, c:\dev\python

      svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk c:\dev\python

      2) Switch to that directory

      cd \dev\python

      3) Pretend to be a buildbot

      tools\buildbot\ build


      This will checkout all the necessary sources into, in my
      example, c:\dev. It will then run all the build steps
      necessary to get a debug build which will then be in

      c:\dev\python\p cbuild\python_d .exe

          Thanks for letting me know about this. I installed Subversion and
          tried to make the build work like that, but it fails.

          1) I am building 64-bit on Vista, so I used build-amd64.bat instead of
          build.bat.

          2) build-amd64.bat was setup to use MSVS 9.0, while I am using MSVS
          8.0. Also, some of the BATCH programs incorrectly added a backslash
          after the %VS90COMNTOOLS% environment variable. I corrected those to
          use %VS80COMNTOOLS% , without the backslash.

          3) It then complained about incompatible solution/project files, so I
          modified build-amd64.bat to use the solution/project files in pc\vs8.0
          instead of pcbuild.

          4) It now has errors/warnings like:
          C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSD K\include
          \prsht.h(531) : error C2016: C requires that a struct or union has at
          least one member
          ...
          c1 : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\..
          \db-4.4.20\common\z erofill.c': No such file or directory
          xa_map.c
          ...
          4>..\..\Python\ getargs.c(319) : warning C4244: 'function' : conversion
          from 'Py_ssize_t' to 'int', possible loss of data

          So I don't see how the amd64-bit builds are working out of the box on
          MS Windows Vista, and I may have made some error when changing the
          build files.

          I'd appreciate any other thoughts ...

              [... snip problems ...]

              I'm afraid I'm not using VS 2005, nor Vista, nor 64-bit,
              so I hope someone else can help. If you don't get any take-up
              here try the python-win32 list; there may be people there who
              don't follow this (rather higher volume) list.
