Compiling on Alpha-Win2K/WinNT (Python 1.5.2)

I am trying to compile Python 1.5.2 (as extracted from py152.tgz on
www.python.org) for Win2000 on an Alpha. Has anyone done this? I
presume that it should be similar to compiling for Alpha/WinNT.

This is my method (please correct me if I am wrong):
 - load "Python-1.5.2\PCbuild\pcbuild.dsw" in MS Dev Studio 5.0
 - set the "python15" project as the active project
 - build

My first problem is that all of the build icons/menu-entries in
DevStudio are grayed out (i.e. I can't build the project). Does anyone
know what this indicates?

I then tried this:
 - export a makefile for the "python15" project
 - run nmake on it: "nmake python15.mak"

This got me further (the .c files were being compiled) but the
compilation broken with the following error:

--------------------------------------------
G:\trentm\Python-1.5.2\PCbuild>nmake python15.mak

Stop.

I do not know of a file called "fpu.h" and cannot find one on my system.


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
