GCCXML indeed used GCC to parse C++ code. GCCXML "embeds" GCC. The only GCCXML requirement is a C\C++ compiler, so you can build it from source code. You don't have to install cygwin. -- Roman Yakovenko C++ Python language binding http://www.language-binding.net/ _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
