I started down that path, but I ended up using a simple CMD script instead of a Makefile. It takes the approach you described below of preparing include and link flags and then calling "python setup...". I've attached it as an example for the mailing list, but note that the paths are specific to my directory layout and to how I prepared the dependencies. I've also attached my notes from building the dependencies. The versions described there are circa November 2010. > I use Visual Studio and Windows SDK compilers, whatever is the > officially documented and supported compiler by the targeted Python > version.
