[issue7371] Windows 64-bit build "skips" several projects in VS 2008

New submission from Sridhar Ratnakumar <sridharr [at] activestate>:

1. Install Windows 64-bit (SP2)
2. Install Visual Studio 2008 Professional w/ 64-bit components
3. Download Python-2.6.4.tgz
4. Open PCbuild/pcbuild.sln
5. Select "Release" and "x64" in the configuration toolbar

One would notice that only the projects "make_buildinfo" and
"make_versioninfo" are built (which too as Win32, not x64 - for unknown
reason). All projects are *skipped*. I don't know why.

64-bit build would work on a 32-bit Windows machine (cross-
compilation), but not a native 64-bit Windows machine?

Attached is the Visual Studio build log.

I meant: All other projects are *skipped*.

Martin v. Löwis <martin [at] v> added the comment:

I can't reproduce this. If I do your steps 1 to 5, *nothing* is build -
not surprisingly, since these steps don't invoke a build at all.

When I then select, in the context menu of "Solution 'pcbuild'", the
menu item "Build solution", it builds everything.

Also, what operating system is "Windows 64-bit (SP2)"?

[...]
Step 6. Build Solution

The OS was 64-bit Windows XP (w/ Service Pack 2). Are you sure you were
running a 64-bit operating system (i.e., not cross-compiling)?

Ok, I found that this issue happens only with RTM version of VS2008.
The fix is to install SP1.
