The main elements needed are the free .NET SDK (which provides a complete C++
toolchain, but has a non-optimising C compiler and a statically-linked only C
runtime) and the Visual C++ Toolkit (which replaces the .NET SDK compiler and
linker with ones which are actually useful).
The toolkit is useless on its own, since it includes the compiler & linker only,
and no other required build tools (like, oh, say, nmake).
I believe it's also necessary to install the platform SDK. I know I needed it to
get the "windows.h" header (since I was building Python itself, rather than an
exension) - I think it also included the stub libraries to link to the MSVCRT DLL's.
Unfortunately, the Windows partition I had all this set up on died a couple of
months back, or I'd be able to just write up a summary of what was required :(
Cheers,
Nick.
