AFAIK the official dia win32 build is created using msvc. Another option is to use mingw/msys, which lets you reuse the *nix build infrastructure. Warning: dealing with the latter can cause questionable mental conditions and should not be attempted by people not savy in using the auto-tools. (Frankly: it's a pain) That said i have built dia on win32 with msys/mingw some time ago, a patch is available from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341549 . If you manage getting to the point where dia builds with said patch enabling python support should be pretty easy. Maybe trying to adapt the win32/msvc build system would be easier though, no idea really. > Would I need to compile the entire suite at the same time?
