Re: Building a win32 python extension from cygwin?

[Jason Tishler <jason at tishler dot net>]

Greg,

Note my experience building Win32 Python extensions is *very* limited.
It is mainly limited to building the readline module every year or so
when the next major version of Python is released...

BTW, you may have better luck on the Python or Distutils list.

What is "installer"?

What is broken?

Error messages?  Build command lines?

I found the following via Google:

    http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/82826
    http://www.python.org/doc/current/inst/non-ms-compilers.html

Are you using the --compiler=mingw32 option?  For example:

    $ python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32

See above.
