[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ./configure
2. cd python && python setup.py bdist_wininst
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Compiled Succesfully or something equivalent.
but compilation broke in between using MSVC++ when building libdnet for python
and got this:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
libdnet-1.12

Please provide any additional information below.
Is this because of change in architecture?

Is there any fix to compile libdnet for Windows 7 x64? Could you make it work? 
Some help would be nice :D
