Summary: Building Fails under Cygwin

Initial Comment:
Even after applying the h2py patch, building under 
Cygwin ends with the following error:

I'm just curious: how does "not a Python problem" get 
decided. If Python failed to build with VC++ on windows or 
GCC on linux I'm sure it would be considered a problem. 
BTW, really, I'm only curious; I'm not suggesting that 
Cygwin should be important to you!

I'm closing this, as it's abundantly clear it's not a Python
problem.

Does the same workaround work?

Is so, do all tests pass?

The same build failure is observed under Win98 for 2.2c1.

FWIW, it seems building _socket statically solves the problem.

This may suffice to for 2.2.

(sf keeps logging me out every ten minutes, grr)
This is being hashed out on the cygwin list.  It's
unfortunately not obvious that it will be fixed in the 2.2
timeframe.

Hmm.  Seems pretty similar to mine.  I'll bug Jason Tishler
and see if he knows anything about it.

I'm using Win2K

CYGWIN_NT-5.0 MOREPIE 1.3.5(0.47/3/2) 2001-11-13 23:16 i686 
unknown

And I've built and installed GCC 3.0.2, thought the Python 
build seems to use 2.95.x anyway.

I am not on the cygwin mailing list, sorry ;-)

Just to say that I'm seeing this too.

What OS?  I'm on NT4 SP6.  Which cygwin?  I'm 

[Administrator@MATHS-PC150 QUAKE]$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 MATHS-PC150 1.3.6(0.47/3/2) 2001-12-03 15:41
i686 unknown

I was actually assuming this was a cygwin bug.  Are you on
the cygwin mailing list?  Maybe you could try raising it
there?  I would, but I *really* don't need another
subscription to a high-volume mailing list right now.

PS: can we add jason as a developer?  then we can assign
bugs to him <wink>.
