Problem Compiling on Windows 7 (VS2008Express)

Compiling or Editing the Panda Source
1

First time trying to compile Panda (1.72) from source on Windows 7.
Have VS2008 Express installed. Downloaded the source zip

Just did a basic makepanda\makepanda.bat --everything to see if I was all set.

About 17min in, I get:

I’m sure it’s something simple I haven’t done.

I think it’s an issue that has been fixed after 1.7.2 was released.

ah ok.
Do you mean that the current (already-built) 1.7.2 release has this issue fixed or do you mean it was fixed in one of the 1.8 sets?

Thx!

It is fixed in 1.8, but not in 1.7.2.
