I don't have an idea myself, but I can ask Mark to take a look at it. My shallow C experience is not enough to parse that. :)

I've tried to build lxml from trunk today, on Win32. Got the following error:

src\lxml\etree.c(880) : error C2059: syntax error : ')' src\lxml\etree.c(881) : error C2059: syntax error : ')' src\lxml\etree.c(882) : error C2059: syntax error : ')' src\lxml\etree.c(883) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'

Any clue? Smells like a Pyrex issue?

Looks like it, yes. The problem lies in the following lines:

void ((*registerGlobalFunctions)(struct __pyx_obj_5etree__BaseContext *,void (*),int ((void (*),PyObject *,PyObject *)))); void ((*registerLocalFunctions)(struct __pyx_obj_5etree__BaseContext *,void (*),int ((void (*),PyObject *,PyObject *)))); PyObject *((*unregisterAllFunctions)(struct __pyx_obj_5etree__BaseContext *,void (*),int ((void (*),PyObject *,PyObject *)))); PyObject *((*unregisterGlobalFunctions)(struct __pyx_obj_5etree__BaseContext *,void (*),int ((void (*),PyObject *,PyObject *))));

These are new in lxml 1.3. Looks like MS's "C" compiler can't handle that.

Any idea how we could get this to work? I mean, without the obvious approach of switching to MinGW. :)
