That's no excuse ;)

You can build Zope on Windows easily with gcc coming with MingW32, which is a lot less intrusive and actually working ;)

There is a short description in chapter 6.2.2 here: http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/inst/tweak-flags.html

and some additional notes can be found by following the two 'See also' links.

I have Zope 2.8 trunk running successfully and without problems this way.

Best regards,
Hanno
