In principle, certainly - there's even a MacPort package for a complete cygwin installation. I've built a number of packages with it - SDL and several related libraries, for instance. There are also ELF cross-compiler MacPort packages, presumably for building Linux binaries. On the other hand, I *haven't* tried any of those compilers with setup.py, and I have no idea if it can support those targets in practice. :-( sherm-- -- Web Hosting by West Virginians, for West Virginians: http://wv-www.net Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
