One other gotcha I should note. We knew this before, but it's good to have it recorded somewhere. When building with mingw32, you need to specify the compiler:
$ python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 But then when you go to make a binary: $ python setup.py bdist --formats=wininst you will again trip over the fact that the compiler needs to be specified, and "bdist" doesn't allow that. The trick is to do both at once: $ python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 bdist --formats=wininst which should do the right thing. Bill
