Hi, I want to build python extensions with mingw-w64 on windows 64 bits. I found some problems which I think are python bugs/deficiencies, but would like a confirmation:
- Any extension requires the MS_WIN64 to be defined, but this symbol is only defined for MS compiler (in PC/pyport.h). Shouldn't it be defined independantly of the compiler ? One problem is that without this defines, SIZEOF_SIZE_T is set to 4 with gcc. Another consequence which can be seen even through a trivial , do nothing extension is that Py_InitModule4 is used (whereas the same source file will use Py_InitModule4_64, which is used when SIZEOF_SIZE_T !=SIZEOF_INT, in include/modsupport.h). - I have some link problems related to Py_InitModule4_64. I believe the problem is in libpython26.a, which according to nm does not have this symbol defined, whereas python26.dll has. thanks, David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
