Steve Dower added the comment: Just came across this advice on https://github.com/cython/cython/wiki/64BitCythonExtensionsOnWindows:
> Do not use MinGW-w64. As you will notice, the MinGW import library for > Python (e.g. libpython27.a) is omitted from the AMD64 version of > Python. This is deliberate. Do not try to make one using dlltool. > There is no official MinGW-w64 release yet, it is still in "beta" and > considered unstable, although you can get a 64-bit build from e.g. > TDM-GCC. There have also been issues with the mingw runtime > conflicting with the MSVC runtime; this can happen from places you > don't expect, such as inside runtime libraries for g++ or gfortran. To > stay on the safe side, avoid MinGW-w64 for now. How accurate is this? Would we be better to omit the mingw libraries from the installer and instead provide the commands (or even a shell script?) to generate it with whatever toolset you're currently using? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23199> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
