[python-win32] GetMessage/PeekMessage not defined AND Buildingwin32all with MinGW

As it turns out these have been added to win32gui (all except PeekMessage -
but I just added that).  Let me know the version of Python you are using and
I will mail you a new win32gui.

I can't answer the MinGW question as I have never used it - but would be
happy to accept patches to setup.py to make things work.

Cheers,

Mark

Buildingwin32all with MinGW


Hi,

I recently noticed that GetMessage and PeekMessage aren't wrapped in any of
the win32* modules, although PostThreadMessage is.  I submitted
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1246207&group_id=7
8018&atid=551954 to document the problem.  Does anyone know of some special
reason why these are missing?

I really need these functions defined.  My first thought was to add them
myself, but I can't compile the code without MSVC++.  Has anyone here
attempted to compile win32all with MinGW?  My experience so far indicates
that it wouldn't compile with MinGW unless perhaps someone has some modified
version of the distutils setup file.

Thanks.
Justin
