MSVCPygame

I wanted to build Pygame using the latest SDL and Python2.4/2.5. The simplest course seemed to be to use the Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 compiler version 7.1 (available here from the MIDAS project - thanks Brian!) to build all the Pygame dependencies.

Here is the result of my efforts:

• prebuilt-win32-dependencies-1.zip (1.71MB)
• pygame-1.8.0rc3.win32-py2.5.exe (1.21MB)
• pygame-1.8.0rc3.win32-py2.4.exe (1.21MB)

I used these articles to help setup my environment:

• Python 2.4 Extensions with the free MS Toolkit Compiler
• Building Python with the free MS Toolkit Compiler

Use (a tweaked version of) this batch-file to setup the environment and put it in the root of the drive you are going to build on:

@echo off
rem vc7-Py.bat, copied to the command path for the machine
rem 
rem For multiple Python installations I use a system wide variable:
rem AA_PYTHON_PATH that points to the current one (AA_* so that it's
rem at the top of the list in the 'System Variables' list).
rem 
rem The various drive letters and paths will need tweaking for any 
rem given system.

set TOOLKIT=E:\programs\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003
set SDK=E:\programs\Microsoft SDK
set NET=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003

set PATH=%TOOLKIT%\bin;%SDK%\Bin;%SDK%\Bin\Win64;%PATH%
set INCLUDE=%TOOLKIT%\include;%SDK%\include;%AA_PYTHON_PATH%\include;
set LIB=%NET%\Vc7\lib;%TOOLKIT%\lib;%SDK%\Lib;%AA_PYTHON_PATH%\libs;
set MSDevDir=

The above is based on the one from the above article, but makes an extra effort to trash any residual MSVC6 environment.

A minimal check of the installation:

E:\dev\ms-dev>\vc7-py
E:\dev\ms-dev>cl
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.10.3077 for 80x86

usage: cl [ option... ] filename... [ /link linkoption... ]

E:\dev\ms-dev>

Obtain the DirectX SDK headers and lib files from Microsoft (I had the SDK CD from years back) and make 'include' and 'lib' directories inside a 'dx7' directory in '\dev\ms-dev\'. Copy the header and lib files into the appropriate places.

SDL

• SDL Home Page
• SDL-1.2.12.tar.gz

Extract the source into the '\dev\ms-dev\' directory, then extract the 'VisualC.zip' in-place so that it make a 'VisualC' sub-directory off 'SDL-1.2.12\'.

Download these files:

• SDL.MAK
• SDL.DEP
• Version.rc

and put them into 'SDL-1.2.12\VisualC\SDL\', then download these files:

• SDLmain.dep
• SDLmain.mak

and put them into 'SDL-1.2.12\VisualC\SDLmain\'.

Build SDL with these commands:

\vc7-py.bat
cd \dev\ms-dev\SDL-1.2.12\VisualC\SDL
nmake -fSDL.MAK CFG="SDL - Win32 Release"
cd ..\SDLmain
nmake -fSDLmain.MAK CFG="SDLmain - Win32 Release"
nmake -fSDLmain.mak CFG="SDLmain - Win32 Release_NoSTDIO"
ren Release_NOSTDIO\SDLmain.lib SDLmain_noredirect.lib

Prepare for using these files with PyGame by creating a "prebuilt" directory and populating it with the required files:

cd \dev\ms-dev
mkdir prebuilt
mkdir prebuilt\include
mkdir prebuilt\lib
copy SDL-1.2.12\VisualC\SDL\Release\SDL.dll prebuilt\lib
copy SDL-1.2.12\VisualC\SDL\Release\SDL.lib prebuilt\lib
copy SDL-1.2.12\VisualC\SDLmain\Release\SDLmain.lib prebuilt\lib
copy SDL-1.2.12\VisualC\SDLmain\Release_NOSTDIO\SDLmain_noredirect.lib prebuilt\lib
copy SDL-1.2.12\include\* prebuilt\include

To make building the test programs easier, I made these two batch-files build.bat and buildall.bat which should be put into the 'SDL-1.2.12\test' directory along with a copy of 'SDL.dll'. Then build them all by running 'buildall.bat' in the test directory:

cd \dev\ms-dev\SDL-1.2.12\test
buildall

To just build this one:

cd \dev\ms-dev\SDL-1.2.12\test
build testfile

Note: the dropped '.c' from the filename.

The back-end can be switched between GDI and DirectX using one of the following:

set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib
set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directx

The 'testvidinfo.exe' program is useful (although not very exciting!) when experimenting:

All the other test programs should work. Help is (usually) available by putting ' --help' on the command-line. It's worth running 'testgl' to make sure that OpenGL support was successfully built-in.

Build it like this:

cd \dev\ms-dev\libpng-1.2.22\projects\visualc6
nmake /flibpng.mak CFG="libpng - Win32 DLL Release"

Test it like this:

nmake /fpngtest.mak CFG="pngtest - Win32 DLL Release"

Install it like this:

nmake /fmakefile.vc

Test it like this:

nmake /fmakefile.vc test

Install it like this:

SDL_image

• SDL_image Home Page
• SDL_image-1.2.6.tar.gz

Extract the source into the '\dev\ms-dev\' directory, then extract the 'VisualC.zip' in-place so that it makes a 'VisualC' sub-directory off 'SDL_image-1.2.6\'.

Download the following files:

• Version.rc.SDL_image

• SDL_image-static.mak
• SDL_image.dep
• showimage.mak
• showimage.dep

and put all but the last two into 'SDL_image-1.2.6\VisualC\'. Don't forget to rename 'Version.rc.SDL_image'. Put the last two 'showimage' files into 'SDL_image-1.2.6\VisualC\showimage\'.

When Py2exe uses "bundle_files":1 (almost everything in one .exe) the dynamic loading of libpng, libjpeg and libtiff doesn't work so I build all my DLLs 'statically' as it were.

Build it like this:

cd \dev\ms-dev\SDL_image-1.2.6\VisualC\
nmake /f"SDL_image-static.mak" CFG="SDL_image - Win32 Release"
or
nmake /f"SDL_image-dynamic.mak" CFG="SDL_image - Win32 Release"

Install it like this:

cd \dev\ms-dev

copy SDL_image-1.2.6\VisualC\Release\SDL_image.lib prebuilt\lib
copy SDL_image-1.2.6\SDL_image.h prebuilt\include

Test it like this:

cd \dev\ms-dev\SDL_image-1.2.6\VisualC\showimage
nmake /f"showimage.mak" CFG="showimage - Win32 Release"
cd \dev\ms-dev
copy SDL_image-1.2.6\VisualC\showimage\Release\showimage.exe prebuilt\lib

prebuilt\lib\showimage.exe jpeg-6b\testimg.bmp

prebuilt\lib\showimage.exe libpng-1.2.22\pngnow.png
prebuilt\lib\showimage.exe libpng-1.2.22\pngtest.png

I found some other image types like '.tga' and '.gif' lurking on my machine, but I downloaded these test tif images and checked libtiff support like this:

Pygame

• Pygame Home Page
• Pygame Subversion repository

Checkout the current version from svn using the instructions on the above page. I use a Windows native version of svn in a command-prompt like this:

cd \dev\ms-dev
mkdir pygame
cd pygame
svn co svn://seul.org/svn/pygame/trunk
...
...
Checked out revision 1052.

Copy the 'prebuilt' directory generated above into the 'trunk' directory.

I tried configuring first:

cd \dev\ms-dev\pygame\trunk
python config.py
Using WINDOWS configuration...

Use the SDL libraries in "prebuilt"? [Y/n]y

There was an error creating the Setup file, check for errors
or make a copy of "Setup.in" and edit by hand.

This didn't seem to work properly so I just manually edited the 'Setup' file that the above step generates: Setup

Unfortunately, the SVN revision 1052 version of 'src/transform.c' doesn't build with the MS compiler and needs patching. If you don't have the 'patch' tool try downloading the GNU utilities for Win32. Then download this patch pygame-transform.c.diff into '\dev\ms-dev\pygame\' and apply it like this:

cd \dev\ms-dev\pygame\trunk
patch -p0 < ..\pygame-transform.c.diff

Build it like this:

cd \dev\ms-dev\pygame\trunk
