Roumen Petrov added the comment: Hi, Now issue18654 "modernize mingw&cygwin compiler classes" contain enhancement that could be reused by this issue: patch "0007-MINGW-compiler-cygwin-provides-its-own-C-runtime.patch " from archive , i.e. lets avoid change in get_msvcr() that return. Mingw is also impacted but is addresses in another patches. As separate patch is 'compiler customization' - more advanced version then proposed by Jeevan Varshney (jayvee)
A separate issue18634 "find import library" address .dll.a suffix based on existing distutil functionality. Also issue18633 "Mingw32CCompiler as default compiler for mingw* build" adds same fixes from unix compiler class into Cygwin one - ref '# Chop off the drive' So with above I think that cygwin compiler could be switched back from unix to own. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2445> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
