It looks like everything's cool for building 2.4 extensions with mingw.
Very good! You should still double-check what DLLs your .pyds depend on; this is best done with depends.exe (if you have that). GNU objdump may also be able to do that.
My only suggestion at this point would be to add 'pyconfig.h' to be installed in Python24/include.
Done (see other message).
It'd be nice to throw in the libs/libpython24.a file, too, but it's big (603K) and I guess everybody who's been using mingw to this point either knows the procedure for making it by heart, or at least has a bookmark to one of the webpages that explains how to do it.
It would also require to have a certain amount of cygwin on the packaging machine, right? If the procedure could be modified to only use tools available on the target machine, I could look into generating that library on installation time. Alternatively, distutils could be modified to generate it on first use. Regards, Martin
