I'm afraid that I've only tried building moz with VS2003, which is the
"official" compiler for Python 2.4.  I understand that VS2005 is now the
official compiler for Mozilla, but I haven't got there yet...

Subject: [pyxpcom] MSVCR80.dll not loading



Hi guys,

I've managed to build firefox with the pyxpcom extenstion using instructions
from mozilla's Windows_Build_Prerequistes page. I used Microsoft Visual C++
8 free edition and the Windows Platform SDK.

Everything appears to build fine. I can launch firefox, and successfully run
the python xul tests.

However when I try to run the standalone; python -c "from xpcom import
components" , I get an error saying that msvcr80.dll is missing. I then put
this in \windows\system32, and run again, but this time I get:

"R6034

An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library
incorrectly...."

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark.
