Thanks a lot for figuring this out. I have updated my XP autobuild box to use the Windows 7 SDK (a two-day trail of tears too sad to detail here) and will update thg-winbuild to prefer this method if it finds the SDK installed. I'm glad we can build good thgshell binaries using tools from free downloads. Now I'm curious if Python will use (or can be made to use) these compilers to build C extensions. Perhaps we can drop mingw entirely. -- Steve Boroh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
