I should know better, but I am nonetheless trying to build gnuradio on Windows XP/cygwin. I did follow the instructions on the wiki (including picking the exact versions), but I am getting stuck on building wxPython.

Has anybody who is more pythonic than me seen this before? My cygwin
version is current as of last Wednesday, and the python version is 2.6.5
(no other python installations on the machine).
The problem is a Cygwin-specific error in the Python release. A patch (for /usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/cygwinccompiler.py) is attached.
I haven't done a complete install with the latest Cygwin, but I have found several things to watch out for:
(1) As noted in the wiki, GNU Radio does not work with gcc4 (4.3.4); use gcc (3.4.4) instead.
(2) The latest cppunit (1.12.1-1) only works with gcc4; use 1.12.0-1 instead.
(3) Do not try to use the Cygwin libboost* packages; they not only require gcc4, but will install gcc4 and make it the default. Build boost from source as described in the wiki.
In general, it appears that Cygwin is moving away from supporting gcc 3.x. I will follow up on the issue that is preventing GNU Radio from working with gcc4 (on Cygwin) and hope it can be resolved before support for gcc 3.x (on Cygwin) is removed.
