[Python-Dev] Modules/config.c on win32 (mingw port)

[Gerhard Häring]

Hello all,

I'm progressing with my mingw port. The current state is that I can 
build a Python DLL and EXE with only minimally babysitting the build 
process. This looks already pretty nice, doesn't it?

Python 2.3a0 (#47, Mar  8 2002, 08:49:19)
[GCC 2.95.3-6 (mingw special)] on mingw32_nt-5.11
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

:-)

The only "babysitting" needed is to add threadmodule.o, posixmodule.o 
and signalmodule.o to the MODULE_OBJS in the Makefile. Problem 1 is how 
to get rid of that? Anybody has an idea?

Problem two is that even if I add these to the MODULE_OBJS, 
Modules/config.c isn't appropriately created. I currently haven't got 
any idea how to achieve this. To be honest, the part of the build 
process (Modules/makesetup and friends) which statically links modules 
to the Python interpreter puzzles me as a whole.

It would be really nice if you could give me some tips.

Gerhard
