FYI, the shortest path to using MinGW with distutils or setuptools is to run this script and follow its directions: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-January/041676.html Once you've done that, the version of Python you ran it with will use the MinGW compiler automatically for all building, with no '-cmingw32' required. The script should probably be added to Python's "tools" directory, particularly for Windows. I've just never gotten around to going through the necessary ceremony to get it in. Martin v Loewis has also offered to change Python's Windows distribution a bit so that the script would be unnecessary, except for setting the [build] options in distutils.cfg, but I'm not sure if that's happened yet either, even for Python 2.5. But the script will work for Python 2.3 and up, maybe even 2.2. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
