Yeah, sounds like a whole lot of work. Thanks for writing up the steps that were needed so far. > Now that they build, I'm finding that when I import them, Python crashes. > From the event log, the problem is in libglib-2.0-0.dll (gnome) with an > unknown application error (0x40000015). Isn't the "no schemas found" error already a reason for the crash? This can be tested by normal gnucash easily: Install in a separate prefix and remove the schemas before start. IIRC. > So a couple questions: > - Are people running the Python bindings under Windows? Not that we know of, but this you might have guessed by now.

No, I don't know of remaining fundamental problems with gnome, gnucash and win32 (or what was the question). Surely there might be problems, and bugzilla knows of many crashing bugs of gtk/gnome on windows, but in gnucash we usually are not affected by them anymore. > - Any tips for forward progress who are more familiar with > gnome/gnucash/Python bindings?

Except that I must confirm that the build is really slow in a Windows/mingw environment. Building gnucash in a cross-compiler on a Linux host is surprisingly fast in comparison. If you need any hints for setting up a cross-compiler with Ubuntu Linux as host, feel free to ask - but this was done without any python, too.
