Visual Studio 2005

==================

pythonnet contains a new solution file for Visual Studio 2005: pythonnet.sln

It should make development under Windows much easier since you don't have to

install MSys or Cygwin to run the makefile.

The solution file should work with the free VS .NET Express Edition.

Available configurations

------------------------

Every configuration copies the dll, pdf and exe files to the root directory

of the project.

* Release

Builds Python.Runtime, Python.Tests, clr.pyd and python.exe. The console

project starts a Python console

* Debug

Same as Release but creates a build with debug symbols

* UnitTest

Builds a Debug build. The console project invokes runtests.py instead of

opening a Python shell.

* EmbeddingTest

Builds Python.EmbeddingTests and its dependencies. The configuration

requires the NUunit framework.

Python version

--------------

You can switch the destination version by defining either PYTHON24 or PYTHON25

inside the Python.Runtime project.

** Don't forget to force a rebuild after you have altered the setting! **

MS VS doesn't take changes to define into account.

Thanks to Virgil Duprasfor his original VS howto!
