How to compile p4python for Maya 2018?

#1

Hello everyone,
Recently, I’m working on a project working with Perforce and I want to do some perforce operations inside Maya by python.
As we known, the python2.7 of Maya 2018 build by vs2015 , so I need to re-compile the p4python by vs2015.
I know that perforce have offered a plugin for Maya 2018 named P4GT, but it seems that I can’t run perforce command through it.
Here is the compile errors screen shot when I compile the perforce 2017.1. I download all source file from [https://cdist2.perforce.com/perforce/r17.1/bin.ntx64/](http://p4python references) and [https://pypi.org/project/p4python/2017.1.1526044/#files](http://p4python source)
And go through the compile progress from this website:https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/user/p4pythonnotes.txt

Can’t help you with recompiling I’m afraid, but this version of P4Python was compiled for MSC v.1900 (and works with Maya 2019). As far as I remember both 2018 and 2019 were built with VS2015 so this should work for you.
