I'm trying to build PyLucene 2.9.2 on Windows XP with MinGW and msys, using Java 1.6.0_18 SE and Python 2.6.4, without setuptools. I unpacked the sources, and tried building JCC:

I'll try installing setuptools and see if that masks the problem. Nope, same problem with setuptools-0.6c11 installed. Bill
