Johann Hanne <pyt...@jf.hanne.name> added the comment: Python 2.7 will currently not compile with MinGW for the outlined reasons.
* There are several "#if defined(_MSC_VER)" macros which surround Windows specific code/preprocessor fragments. But _MSC_VER is only defined with the Visual Studio compiler, not with gcc/MinGW. So the MS_WINDOWS define needs to be used for Windows specific code (and _MSC_VER only for compiler specific code). * When cross-compiling on Unix with gcc/MinGW, the windows.h header is only found if it's written all lowercase due to Unix filesystems being case-sensitive. * strcasecmp is a already defined by gcc/MinGW, so it must not be used for defining another function. The patch thus renames a function currently named strcasecmp to my_strcasecmp. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10504> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
