Dear list,
I was using autoconf/automake etc to build my python extension. Since distutil seems to be easier, I have switched to this method. However, when I build the module under windows, I am told that compiler version mismatch... I am using msvc 7 and python was build by msvc 6.0.
I am not sure why compiler version matters here since
1. if proceed by removing corresponding lines in distutil, the generated module works fine (as far as I can tell).
2. I am told that I can use minGW gcc ... Isn't mingw differ more with msvc6 than msvc7?
3. I was using msvc7 (automake etc, not distutil) and everything was fine. I was not even warned about potential problems.
Since there are many different Python out there (Official, ActivePython, Enthough), do I have to figure out which compiler they use to build my module for them? Currently, my MSVC7 built module works fine with all of them.
Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
