This is proably a dumb noobie question, but hopefully some of you have seen this type of thing before. I'm trying to compile a set of Extensions for a Zope app, I'm using the Python that came with Zope2.7RC2 which is Py 2.3.3 on a Windows system. After setting the system path to include the Zope bin and bin\include directories (where the Python.exe and the header files live), I attempt to compile the extensions by doing the following. python setup.py build -cmingw32 I get a hole bunch of undefined interface type errors (the computer's at home so I'm going by memory) similar to __Inf__PyString undefined, and it ends off with a line about WinMain@16 with that setup terminates. When I try the same thing with MSVC7 (from the .NET 1.1 SDK), I get an error message that Python was compiled with Visual C 6 and modules must be compiled with that compiler. The seemingly odd thing to me is when I try it with MSVC6 Std Ed (starting a new cmd prompt and loading the VC6 .bat file for environment), I get the same error message - which doesn't make sense. I'm a bit confused, is there something else to compiling under windows I'm missing? do I need to be in MSys (I've just been trying from cmd)? Any suggestions greatly appriecated, Cheers -Garth Northern.CA ===-- http://www.northern.ca Canada's Search Engine

I know near to nothing about mingw, so I have no suggestion here.

which is correct...
The seemingly odd thing to me is when I try it with MSVC6 Std Ed (starting a new cmd prompt and loading the VC6 .bat file for environment), I get the same error message - which doesn't make sense.
We just had this issue - distutils doesn't pick up the usual environment variables. It only reads from the registry. Look into the sources for distutils/msvccompiler.py. On my machine, the directories are in the registry as values of the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DevStudio\6.0\Build System\Components\Platforms\Win32 (x86)\Directories Is this key present on your machine, and has it 'Include Dirs', 'Library Dirs', and 'Path Dirs' values?

If these are linking errors, the problem might be that you don't have a gcc-style Python library. See http://bonsai.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~mdehoon/software/python/cygwin.html for details on how to get one.

Usually I run this from Cygwin's command prompt (using Windows' Python), which works fine. --Michiel. -- Michiel de Hoon, Assistant Professor University of Tokyo, Institute of Medical Science Human Genome Center 4-6-1 Shirokane-dai, Minato-ku Tokyo 108-8639 Japan http://bonsai.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~mdehoon

This is the same what you can find in the documentation http://python.org/doc/current/inst/tweak-flags.html#SECTION00062200000000000... But nobody seems to read it. Maybe the compiler class should check for libpython??.a and print a warning with a link to the documentation. --Rene

Another possibility would be to include the appropriate libpython??.a with the Windows version of Python, in order to make developing C extensions easier for open-source developers that are using gcc instead of Microsoft's compiler. --Michiel. -- Michiel de Hoon, Assistant Professor University of Tokyo, Institute of Medical Science Human Genome Center 4-6-1 Shirokane-dai, Minato-ku Tokyo 108-8639 Japan http://bonsai.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~mdehoon
