Configure

No configure errors, but many options disabled due to missing libraries.

Build

First build

Second Build

moved "strict-prototypes" flag to non-windows only.

Thousands of warnings, then:

3>Compiling manifest to resources...
3>Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Resource Compiler Version 6.0.5724.0
3>Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
3>Linking...
3>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'dl.lib'
3>Build log was saved at "file://c:\pieper\CMakePython\cpython-2.7.3-build\cmake\python\python.dir\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
3>python - 1 error(s), 48 warning(s)
4>------ Skipped Build: Project: INSTALL, Configuration: Debug x64 ------
4>Project not selected to build for this solution configuration 
========== Build: 2 succeeded, 1 failed, 2 up-to-date, 1 skipped ==========

Third build

manually removed dl.lib and m.lib from link line in visual studio properties.

Then made corresponding change to cmake/libpython/CMakeLists.txt

   if(NOT WIN32)
     target_link_libraries(${name} dl m)
   endif(NOT WIN32)

Now get this link error:

1>------ Build started: Project: python, Configuration: Debug x64 ------
1>Linking...

Fourth build

Found that this patch (ifdef for static build) had not been applied during the build process:

./cmake/patches-win32/01-dynload_win.patch

Now compile completes and python can be run.

Exits with error code 0x1.

Perhaps other patches have not been applied either. Stopping until we make a proper git repository for tracking these edits.
