Patch review [ 981773 ] crach link c++ extension by mingw When building a C++ extension for Windows using MinGW, the linking would fail due to an incorrect link command. The patch contains a solution for this problem. I could reproduce this bug with Python 2.3.5c1, but in Python 2.4 it seems to have been fixed. Using this Python version: '2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 11:49:19) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]' a C++ extension compiled and linked correctly with MinGW. So I think this patch is no longer needed (except if we want to back-port it to 2.3.5, which I doubt). --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
