[wxpython-dev] Windows build problems

I would like to integrate wxPython support into my application that is buil=
t with C++ and wxWidgets. I got the 2.8.6.0 source distribution of wxPython=
 and set about getting it built, but unfortunately I can't get it to build.=
 I've followed the Windows build instructions exactly, and just to be extra=
 sure I tried a clean build using the version of wxWidgets contained in the=
 wxPython source distribution. wxWidgets builds fine, but when running setu=
p.py to build wxPython I get linker errors from MSVC complaining about wxSt=
ring::Cmp(), wxString::Printf() et. al. It appears that when building wxPyt=
hon, it thinks that wxChar is an unsigned short rather than wchar_t - even =
though I build wxWidgets with Unicode support and passed the appropriate Un=
icode flags when trying to build wxPython.

Do any of these problems sound familiar? Am I missing something simple here?

Thanks,
- Jamie =
