pypcom uses official python distribution, hence 25
wich links against msvcr71
the current build uses msvcr80 (we build also using msvcr90)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.build
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
firefox loads msvcr71 when pyxpcom is loaded

Expected Results:  
firefox doesn't mix msvc runtimes

Comment 1

[Benjamin Smedberg]

Why shouldn't we mix runtimes? As long as each DLL only links with one runtime, I think we're safe...

Comment 2

[Todd Whiteman]

I agree with Benjamin - this should be fine.

PythonExt (a build of PyXPCOM) extension for Windows mixes different versions of Visual Studio - 2005 for Firefox and 2008 for Python 2.6 - which does not appear to have any problems, it just requires that the appropriate Visual Studio C++ runtime(s) be installed (as PythonExt does not ship with any visual studio runtime).
