I've set up a Parallels virtual machine on my Mac, and have succeeded in getting Windows XP running in it! And I've installed MinGW, as well. Now I'd like to learn how to build the SSL module from source on Windows for Python 2.5.2. Is there any documentation on the process of building an extension from scratch that's appropriate for someone who doesn't know much about Windows? I'm looking for step-by-step.
I'll make a custom Bill-Janssen-Step-By-Step-List: try: 1. Write a setup.py file. See distutils documentation for details. 2. Install Python 2.5.2 3. Run c:\python25\python.exe setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 4. Run c:\python25\python.exe setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 bdist_wininst except Exception, e: A. Post e to python-dev else: 5. Upload dist/* to PyPI (you can use setup.py upload for that also) HTH, Martin
