Mailing List Archive: How to decipher Windows errors on builds?

Hi,

I'm getting build errors on Windows for
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/28386

The error message is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows
Kits\10\Include\10.0.22000.0\um\winnt.h(253): error RC2188:
D:\a\cpython\cpython\PCbuild\obj\311win32_Release\pythoncore\RCa01688(47)
: fatal error RC1116: RC terminating after preprocessor errors
[D:\a\cpython\cpython\PCbuild\pythoncore.vcxproj]

Can anyone translate that into English for me?

It suggests that there are errors in the preprocessor. But how do I tell
what the error is?

Cheers,
Mark.

Hi Mark,

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.
