mingw+msys port which was previously done against python-2.5.2 has been brought forward to latest subversion r68884. the primary reason for initially doing python 2.5.2 was to 1) "stay out of the way" of primary python development 2) provide some hope for those people still using win98 and nt. builds using msvcr90 are possible with the --enable-msvcr9build switch. install mingw, install msys, optionally install a boat-load of libraries such as sqlite3, zlib, bz2, dbm etc. (good luck, it's a pain - ask me if you'd like some prebuilt). make sure you patch the mingw runtime if you want to use --enable-msvcr9build (again, ask me if you'd like the patched headers and prebuilt libmsvcrNN.a files). also added is the msi module - http:/ /lkcl.net/msi.tgz and run make in the msi directory, to install the import libraries and header files borrowed from Wine and beaten into submission. run ./configure --enable-win32build=yes --enable-shared=yes and go do something else for about 10 minutes, then run make and make install. no proprietary compilers or tools were used or harmed [*] in the making or development of this patch. l. [*] such a shame... _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
