Hi,
I'm wrapping some code for Python on Windows using Visual Studio 2005
(although I think this will all be exactly the same in 6 and 2003).
When I'm doing a debug build, the symbol _DEBUG is defined (and it needs
to be defined). Something in Python.h, then, tells the linker it needs
python24_d.lib. The problem is that the Windows installer for Python
does not include this file. One possible workaround I found on the
Python mailing list is to change the SWIG output so that
#include "Python.h"
becomes:
#ifdef _DEBUG
#undef _DEBUG
#include "Python.h"
#define _DEBUG
#else
#include "Python.h"
#endif
This "tricks" Python.h into thinking this is not a debug build, and thus
is looks for python24.lib instead, which does exist. This works, and
since I'm not trying to debug Python, I don't care that I'm not linking
the debug library. But having to manually change SWIG's output each
time I generate it is a real pain. Is there either a way to change
SWIG's output to this or does anyone have another idea for how to
workaround this problem? And no, renaming python24.lib to
python24_d.lib does not work :) (they aren't binary compatible).
Thanks,
Bob Marinier
