PIL for Python 2.4?

[Christos TZOTZIOY Georgiou]

Has anyone built PIL (1.1.4 or 1.1.5) for Python 2.4? If yes, please
let me know, since I can't test a couple of my apps using PIL with 2.4 .
You can even reply by email (yes, I dare use true email in newsgroup
postings, but then, I'm postmaster and welcome spam :)

TIA

I haven't. But it would have been useful if you had mentioned which
platform ;-) Windows?

Oh, yes, Windows... On Linux I built it myself. I just don't have
access to a MS compiler on Windows.

Sorry for not being clear.

well I have old MS VC++ 6 and building with setup.py Python 2.4b2 gives an error
related to the compiler; :( I guess I need MSVC++ 7.

I have MSDN subscription, but no idea whether I can get 6 & 7 to coexist.

I didn't even *try* to build it on an installation of MS VS 6 we have in
the office because I remember the long discussion about the transition
to VS 7, and the need for the building of other libriaries with VS 7
too... Of course, I could completely build Python 2.4 with VS 6 and
then build PIL, which is what I'll do next. I just wanted to avoid
troubles with VS 6 project files being out of sync, so I asked if anyone
did the build.

Thanks for trying though.

I had a few problems building 2.4b2 on 6; I think the old projects are unmaintained.

You need 7.1, not 7.0. Aka named Visual Studio .NET 2003.

And it coexists with 6.0.

Thanks Thomas, I'll have a go at installing it soon.

You can download Microsoft's C/C++ compiler for free. (It's command
line only, but good enough.)

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Now that you told me I remembered
