guppy

[Juan Declet-Barreto]

I am using Cygwin build of Python2.6.  This Cygwin install has both a Cygwin gcc (versions 3.4.4 and 4.5.3) and mingw32 (3.4.4), as listed in lib/gcc/. 

I also tried the mingw32 shell separately, but I get the same results even when I pass the "-c mingw32" option. 

The error is reproduced below:

$ python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building 'guppy.sets.setsc' extension
gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/include/python2.6 -c src/sets/sets.c -o build/temp.cygwin-1.7.9-i686-2.6/src/sets/sets.o

Please show us the full error message with context.

Are you using a Cygwin build of Python or a native Windows build? What GCC version and flavor are you using? I'm not sure if Cygwin is even supported. I recommend that you use MinGW with GCC 4.x if you can't afford VS 2003.
