Can't Recompile the Wwise/Unity Integration

Question

Our team wants to use the Oculus Spatializer plugin in Wwise, which requires recompiling the Unity integration. However, our programmer is having trouble compiling the base integration even without the Oculus plugin.

We're trying to compile the Unity plugin for Wwise version 2015.1.2 build 5457.

We're following these instructions and hit a wall at step 4. We tried to compile the plugin for Windows 32-bit DEBUG, using both the command line script and the Visual Studio 2010 project, and got the same error seen in the log below. Does anyone know what the cause of this error might be?

Answer 1

In the past, I have gotten that same error about "iteritems".  I found that replacing "iteritems" with "items" in PerpareSwigInput.py solved the compilation issue.  However, in the upgrade that I'm currently doing (from 2015.1.4 to 2016.1.0), I did not get that error.

I'm pretty sure it's a Python version issue.
