[Tutor] Problem installing the Pymqi module

Thu Apr 7 20:12:52 CEST 2005

Hi Everyone,

I've tried installing the pymqi Python module on Windows but no luck so
far.

Has anyone had any success in doing this?

Any help you can provide on this would be greatly appreciated.

To install the module under Python v2.4, I did the following steps:

1. Download MinGW Gcc from http://mingw.org

2. Install MinGW GCC

3. Edit path and add GCC area c:\MinGW\bin

4. Verify that GCC is functioning

   c:\ gcc --version

5. Download pexports from
http://starship.python.net/crew/kernr/mingw32/. 

6. Extract pexports to C:\pexports

7. Add C:\pexports\pexports-0.42h\bin to path 

8. Locate the file python2?.dll 

   On windows XP with Python v2.4 installed, it is typically found as 
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\python24.dll

9. Open a command prompt

10. Change your working directory to C:\WINDOWS\system32

11. Extract all of the symbols from the Python library

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ pexports python24.dll > python24.def 

12. Create a new python library

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\dlltool --dllname python24.dll --def
python24.def --output-lib libpython24.a

The dlltool command is part of the MinGW utilities

13. Copy the newly created python library to its permanent location

	C:\WINDOWS\system32\copy libpython24.a C:\Python24\lib

14. Download pymqi from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pymqi/pymqi-0.5c.tar.gz?download and
extract to c:\pymqi

15. Edit the file C:\pymqi\pymqi-0.5c\setup.py and change include_dirs
to the following path and save

	C:/Program Files/IBM/WebSphere MQ/Tools/Lib

16. Open command prompt and change working directort to
C:\pymqi\pymqi-0.5c

17. Initiate a client or server build

For a client:

	setup.py build -cmingw32 client

For a server:

	setup.py build -cmingw32 server

In either case, I received the following compile errors.
