fails with VS11

[asemx]

below is the error msg

"\afx.h(24) : fatal error C1189: #error : Building MFC application with /MD[d](CRT dll version) requires MFC shared dll version. Please #define _AFXDLL or do not use /MD[d]"

[asemx]

was able to compile by defining below flag (just temporarily modified afx.h file), i think we need to get into the build config

#define _AFXDLL

Thanks algopats, I'll look into including that directive.

Distutils adds the /MD flag so I think the issue lies with them and Visual Studio 11.

However after reading around this a bit it seems it is not recommended to built Python extensions on Windows with Visual Studio versions other than 2008 (version 9), as that is what the windows version of Python is built with. So it seems distutils will only properly support that version....

[asemx]

agree.

just want to note, VS11 did work using the above workaround. I am now successfully using tws with swigibpy.

Thanks, I'll update the documentation with some info about visual studio.
