[python-win32] cygwin etc.

[Simon Burton]

Hi all,

I am looking to build and distribute python extensions for win32 using cygwin/mingw.

So far I have tried these installations:
1) the standard python exe installer
2) cygwin python
3) python built from source (with cygwin)

My requirements are: pygame, pyopengl, numarray, etc. etc.

I have tried many permutations so far and am seriously lost.

Option 1 seemed to be the most promising, but led to a lot of missing
symbols with "__imp__" prefixes. (i thought i did the pexport/dlltool dance correctly, but maybe not).

Just retrying option 1 now... (version 2.2.2). Why doesn't python run in my rxvt ??

Anyway, distutils is telling me my platform is "nt" and it doesn't know about "mingw" on that platform.

Can anyone help out?

Simon.
