Hi folks,

I've just been trying to build the latest CVS version of PyGtk on my Windows
XP box to run with Python-2.3 and the Mingw32 GCC compiler, but sadly I
couldn't do it due to a problem! I can compile all the files properly using
the setup.py script but when I try to install or build a windows binary
installer it complains. Here's what it outputs,

>> python setup.py bdist_wininst
* Numeric module could not be found, will build without Numeric support.
* gtkgl-2.0.pc could not be found, bindings for gtk.gtkgl will not be built.
running bdist_wininst
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
error: Python was built with version 6 of Visual Studio, and extensions need
to be built with the same version of the compiler, but it isn't installed.

I initially compiled all my files using the command
>> python setup.py build -f --compiler=mingw32 --enable-threading

I'm yet to experience this sort of complaints from Python! Python-2.2 has
worked really nicely with Mingw32 GCC all this time I've been building PyGtk
and PyGtkGLExt on Win32.

Now if someone could inform me whether I really need the MSVC compiler to
actually build/install extension modules for Python-2.3, then that would be
much appreciated. Cheers.

Alif.
