From Zachary's comment it seems I should be able to build with distutils without too much trouble. However, I try to link bits of various libraries statically into the reportlab extensions eg freetype.lib. Does anyone know if I will need separate versions of those for VS2015? Currently I build with distutils for Python 27, 33 & 34. Currently the .libs seem OK with both 2.7 & >=3.3 builds, but I notice from the reference that all the code for VS2015 needs to be built with specific options set, so will I need separate versions of the relocatable libs? -- Robin Becker
