[M3devel] still having trouble building on WinXP

Is it really still broken? This is trivial. Ctypes.unsigned has been around forever.
I could have sworn I commited the trivial fix.
I'll look again tonight.

It just needs to say:
IMPORT Ctypes;

TYPE whatever = Ctypes.unsigned or unsigned_int;

It is all absolutely trivial.

I can't well paste in the definition of Ctypes.unsigned, because it varies between 32bit and 64bit. Ctypes is a portability bridge for 32bit vs. 64bit. 32bit unsigned is Word.T. 64bit unsigned is range 0...2^32-1.

Jay:
 
I’ve updated my sandbox again to be current with the HEAD branch.
 
My computer is running Windows XP (32 bit), my installed cm3 system is a working edition circa 2008, and I have Python v2.7.3 installed.
 
If I try to upgrade to the latest sources in my Sandbox, I run into trouble.
 
1.     
Using the python scripts, I run into a problem right away:
C:\cm3\Sandbox\cm3\scripts\python>\Python27\python.exe upgrade.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "upgrade.py", line 4, in <module>
    import pylib
  File "C:\cm3\Sandbox\cm3\scripts\python\pylib.py", line 650, in <module>
    if Host.endswith("_NT") or Host == "NT386":
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'endswith'




2.     
If I try my script, or if I try to rebuild manually, I run into an error trying to build “m3back” due to undefined Ctypes.unsigned:
new source -> compiling M3C.m3
"..\src\M3CC.i3", line 6: undefined (Ctypes.unsigned)
1 error encountered
new source -> compiling M3CC.i3
"..\src\M3CC.i3", line 6: undefined (Ctypes.unsigned)
1 error encountered
 
Can the dependency on Ctypes.unsigned be removed, or is there a way to fix the error?
 
Thanks,
Randy
