Hi Giovanni I downloaded your package and installed it in c:/mingw1. It complained that it could not detect Python, although I have Python 2.4 installed on my system (did you check HKCU as well as HKLM, perhaps?) I note that the gccmrt utility does not work from MSYS. You will need to provide a shell-script equivalent version, in order for that to be useful for MSYS users. So I opened a cmd prompt and ran the command, then restarted my MSYS session. There is also a need to be able to query the *current state* of the gccmrt option. Next I built my code. It all compiled OK, all the way through to my NSIS bundle. So that was nice. It includes gfortran, flex, bison, SWIG/ Python and Tcl/Tk linkage: a bit of a coup. BUT when I try to run my program, I get a windows error msgbox, "python.exe - Entry Point Not Found: The procedure entry point _ctype could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcr71.dll". I don't know what the cause of that missing symbol could be, unless it has something to do with the fact that I am linking with -lgfortran. As well as the python module that fails to load (above) I also have a Tcl/Tk based executable which crashes on launch. Also seems to be something with msvcr71, but I can't tell for sure.
