>> As it turns out, MinGW also implemented, in version 3.0.0 (with >> binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1), features which make the creation of >> libpython24.a unnecessary It looks like the current version of mingw sees python26.lib and incorrectly uses it. If i remove python26.lib and place python26.dll instead - mingw uses the exports directly from the dll and everything works too (without needing libpython26.a). This should be reflected in the documentation. ---------- title: Misleading instructions for installing extensions with mingw -> Misleading instructions for building extensions with mingw _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6264> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
