Ok, I'm working on building python 2.4.2 on cygwin. I *think* it's version 3.0 or 3.1 (is there a quick way to find out what version of cygwin is running within a shell?)
Anyway, it appears to 'configure' fine, but gcc reports a compile error when it gets to posixmodule.c. Here's the first few lines of the error message: ============================== gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I./Include -DPy_BUILD_CORE -c ./Modules/posixmodule.c -o Modules/posixmodule.o Modules/posixmodule.c:308: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype Modules/posixmodule.c: In function `posix_ttyname': Modules/posixmodule.c:1162: warning: implicit declaration of function `ttyname' Modules/posixmodule.c:1162: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast Modules/posixmodule.c: In function `posix_mkdir': Modules/posixmodule.c:1791: too many arguments to function `mkdir' ============================== I've researched this a bit, and it sounds like cygwin gets all confused about system includes and so on. Is there a good, comprehensive explanation somewhere of how to make this all work? (Most of the threads I've found are helpful, but not complete unfortunately).
