I am trying to automate the build of 64-bit Python-2.7.6 for our project. By default, Python MSI uses an older version of OpenSSL that we want to update. I am completely new to creating applications for Windows. All the documentation I found is to open it in the IDE and then build Python by pulling all its dependencies. In any case, this process can be automated from the command line. What you need to do for 64-bit Windows. Inside the PCbuild directory, there are only visual studio project files. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: I did a search and found build.bat in the PCbuild directory. I am trying to replicate what it does by setting path variables for Release | x64. However, when I do this and execute it, it still tries to create make_versioninfo, make_buildinfo as "Release | Win32" instead of "Release | x64", this causes these two source assemblies to crash with the following error:
fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'X86'
Other errors that I need to solve, I was hoping to solve the initial errors, hoping that these errors may be related to why my assembly does not work later. Also, I was hoping that someone could suggest how I can locate things like openssl so that the build process finds them.
