Before writing any formal bug report I thought I might ask first whether the problem I am seeing is something that can be even fixed from Cygwin's side. The issue has to do with the compilation of Python binary packages for Python inside Cygwin (Python installed as a Cygwin package as opposed to Python for Windows). The problem starts to show as gcc warnings: "[…] redeclared without dllimport attribute: previous dllimport ignored", and ends with linkers errors such as: "relocation truncated to fit [...] against undefined symbol". I am guessing the problem might actually lie within the Python sources itself but I am not entirely sure. So is this some issue that is even worth further research and filing a bug report here?
Hi Patrick, Read about cygwin dll exports and imports at https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html You may want to find a similar Cygwin Python module and look at the source package (something called python-...-v.n-p-src) to see how it is built using cygport, which takes care of some Cygwin specific differences in builds. If you still have issues, please provide all the information requested by: https://cygwin.com/problems.html which includes attaching cygcheck and build output logs. -- Take care.
