What is the correct command to Build wxPython (2.8.10) on Windows

[anurag]

Hi,

I'm trying to build wxPython on windows (vc++ 6.0, window XP), as per the build instructions given on the website
for wxWidget---->
nmake -f makefile.vc OFFICIAL_BUILD=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=0 USE_OPENGL=1 USE_GDIPLUS=1 DEBUG_FLAG=1 CXXFLAGS=/DNO_VC_CRTDBG WXDEBUGFLAG=h BUILD=release UNICODE=1 MSLU=1

and for wxPython-->
python setup.py build_ext --inplace MONOLITHIC=0 UNICODE=1

In this case wxPython is not building with following errors

unresolved external symbol "declspec(dllimport) void cdecl wxOnAssert

unresolved external symbol "declspec(dllimport) public: thiscall wxString::wxString
unresolved external symbol "declspec(dllimport) public: class wxStringBase & thiscall wxStringBase::operator
unresolved external symbol "declspec(dllimport) public: class wxString & thiscall wxString::Append

unresolved external symbol "declspec(dllimport) wchar_t const * const wxPanelNameStr

Please suggest what is the write syntax to build wxPython, it seems everyone has encountered these problem and everyone got the solution, but somehow I'm not able to find the right configuration option
Please help me.

Regards,
Anurag

Are you really using vc++ 6.0? If so then you can not build with any Python later than 2.3. wxPython must be built with the same compiler than was used to build Python. Up to Python 2.3 used MSVC 6. Python 2.4 and 2.5 used MSVC 7.1, (visual studio 2003) and Python 2.6 and beyond use MSVC 9, (visual studio 2008.)

This ticket should be closed as MSVC6 is not supported anymore.
