I checked out pyc from svn repository trunk/addons/pyc

But when I compile it with the build.cmd ( I use the latest clamav 0.95.3)

I got the following error.

1 What should I do?
2 What's the function of pyc?
Thanks

You need MS Visual Studio 2005 to build it, VC98 won't do it without code modifications. pyc is a python binding for libclamav.

Thanks for the reply.

But when I use visual studio 2008 express to compile it. It says Python is built with Visual Studio 6 and won't continue. I suppose visual studio 2005 may have the same problem. What should I do? Thanks.

BTW, I'm using python2.3

C:\Users\xxxx\workspace\clamwin\pyc>build.cmd release

error: Python was built with version 6 of Visual Studio, and extensions need to

use Python 2.4 and VS2005 (that's what we do and they are compatible), or you can build python with VS2008

you mean py23 ?

yes - looks like I am getting old...

I followed the document

https://wiki.clamwin.com/index.php/Building_ClamWin

it says

you may experience problems trying to build
with Python 2.4, as the the version of wxPython that ClamWin
works with does not have a binary for Python 2.4, only 2.3
and 2.2. Therefore, Python 2.3 should be used to develop and
build ClamWin.

Maybe need an update.

Thanks

After install python2.5 (python2.4 need compile pyc with vs2003) and vs2005, I compile the pyc. It asks for libclamav.lib to link.

There is only a win32 clamav version for 0.92. New win32 version is under development and is expected to release in 0.96.
So are you using the 0.92 win32 version? under development 0.96 win32 version? or compiled 0.95 version in win32 by yourself?

Thanks
