2017-01-03 Building pycrypto on Windows

New version of Python and the same issues come back when I need to compile some specific packages such as pycrypto. No big issue here. After getting the sources, the following instructions might work:

python setup.py bdist_wheel

In my case, I got:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.10240.0\ucrt\inttypes.h(26): error C2061: syntax error: identifier 'intmax_t'

I finally decided to edit this file and to add just before the line of the error (which I’ll remove after):

#define intmax_t long long
#define uintmax_t unsigned long long

And I was able to build pycrypto-2.7a2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl.
