Mark Lawrence added the comment:

Nothing has been done with #17605 or the associated issues to my knowledge.  
I've no idea as to whether or not the originator will be picking them up again 
or if he is open to another user picking them up.  I do know that there are 56 
open issues with mingw in the title.

@ Christian Heimes
Thank you for your hint. Martin v. Löwis made an interesting commend, if his 
way succeed, it would be worth considering to make a paragraph in the devguide 
how to build Python with MinGW. The way Forward depends on the results.

@ Martin v. Löwis
I've tried the Unix configure under MinGW. It failed.
I've written it in the appended file with:
$ cd C:/MinGW/python_mercurial
$ ./configure  configure_test.txt

I've installed the MSYS gawk Utility and configure succeeded (thank you!), but 
now make failed. Should I upload the entire log file or ony the error messages?

R. David Murray added the comment:

I believe there are open (and some closed) issues in this tracker related to 
mingw support, though many of them are for support for compiling extensions 
using mingw, which is actually a harder problem.  They will probably provide 
clues if nothing else.  What we probably lack is a core developer with the time 
and desire to review and commit the patches.  If I remember correctly someone 
started trying to sort the proposals into small enough patches to make review 
practical.  With another pair of eyes doing review, testing, and sorting, the 
chances of making progress would be increased.

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

@David: I don't think any of the other open issues actually addresses building 
Python with mingw (but I may misremember).

@Friedrich: This is only going to be productive if you are willing to look into 
the issues yourself, and propose changes. If I had time to look into this issue 
(which I don't), it would be much easier for me to reproduce and fix the 
problem, than to wait for you to report the next problem. Be prepared that this 
task may take several days (or even weeks) of work. If you merely keep 
reporting the problems you find, expect people to lose interest quickly.

As for the specific problem (make_test.txt): MS_WINDOWS needs to get defined 
somehow (I think), and then EALREADY etc ought to come from winsock2.h (see 
exceptions.c around line 2360).

Try replacing the generated pyconfig.h with PC/pyconfig.h to see whether that 
gets you further.

R. David Murray added the comment:

@Martin: you are probably correct, though I think there was at least one closed 
issue that did deal with mingw/msys build.  As I recall it wasn't coherent 
enough to produce useful patches, but may have some clues.

[issue18397] Python with MinGW

[Friedrich Spee von Langenfeld]

New submission from Friedrich Spee von Langenfeld:

I think, there are some users which are going to compile Python, but disagree 
with the restriction of Visual Studio (use only with account after 90 days). 
Should we provide makefiles to compile Python with MinGW (this could be easily 
done with the Export function of Visual Studio, see 
http://oldwiki.mingw.org/index.php/ConvertVisualStudioWorkspace for Details)? 
Or should we provide a CMakeList.txt to give the user the ability to make his 
own makefiles?

Christian Heimes added the comment:

The bug tracker isn't the best place to discuss such matters. Please open a 
discussion on the python-ideas mailing list if you are interested in improving 
the situation.

Hint: New Windows developers are always welcome. We don't have that many... :)

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

The best way would be if the standard Unix configure succeeded under 
MingW/msys. Did you actually try whether that worked?
