Error compiling 1.7.2 for Win7 w/python

Thanks for the welcome and the prompt reply!

I’ve already got python installed, so running the .msi again gave me change/repair/remove options, none of which seemed to let me install a 2nd version in the win-python directory.

I tried copying most everything from my full install, minus the Python27->Lib->site-packages over to win-python. I’ve got about 500 MB in site-packages, so using an empty directory saved a lot of space. Also why I don’t want to risk messing anything up with another installation!

However, this gives the same error. Is there a way to have the build use my existing python distribution? Looking at jGenPyCode.py, it looks like I need the root directory of Panda added to my sys.path, but I’m not sure where best to do that. I’m hoping there is a tried and true solution.

Thanks for the tip on --everything. I was intending to make sure I could compile the simple version before I tried adding in the goodies.

Thanks!
