here</a>, I wish to access lib.exe in order to generate the .lib
files (also for FFTW).</p>
<p>The difficulty is that I'm building for python so am using
something along the lines of <a href="https://github.com/ogrisel/python-appveyor-demo">this demo
project</a>. The actual project I'm trying to do this for is
<a href="https://github.com/hgomersall/pyFFTW">pyfftw</a>.</p>
<p>I have a little <a href="https://github.com/hgomersall/pyFFTW/blob/master/appveyor/setup_fftw_dlls.ps1">
power script</a> but I just can't work out where the lib.exe
executable is, nor is it in the path. Any ideas how to approach
this?</p></div>hengtag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/380161892015-09-24T14:44:14Z2016-06-06T09:17:54ZTrying to access lib.exe through non-standard SDK<div><p>To be clear, the difficulty is in the fact that the SDK used is
dynamic.</p></div>hengtag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/380161892015-09-24T18:24:32Z2015-09-24T18:24:32ZTrying to access lib.exe through non-standard SDK<div><p><code>lib.exe</code> could be find in many places. For example,
there is one in <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio 12.0\VC\bin</code> folder.</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/380161892015-10-11T12:21:58Z2015-10-11T12:21:59ZTrying to access lib.exe through non-standard SDK<div><p>Apologies for the slow reply. I managed to solve the problem by
fiddling with scripts. The code is in the above repository.</p></div>Henry Gomersall
