Re: Building biopython 1.30 on Windows with MSCV

I have a partial solution.

Acording to some old posts on the mailing list back in May 2004:

http://portal.open-bio.org/pipermail/biopython-dev/2004-May/001998.html

the Bio/PDB/mmCIF/lex.yy.c file is generated automatically using something 
called lex, which complicates making the file windows friendly, for example by 
conditional compilation of the include unistd.h statement.

Editing setup.py to remove Extension('Bio.PDB.mmCIF.MMCIFlex', ...) from the 
definition of EXTENSIONS list allows me to compile a windows installation 
program (which appears to work fine) with just the command:

python setup.py bdist_wininst

(There are still a selection of compiler warnings...)

Would the BioPython team like the resulting file biopython-1.30.win32-py2.3.exe 
to make available to end users?
