I am attempting to build gtk and glade using mingw/msys. It seems that some of the packages require python. I installed 2.7.3 using the installer from python.org. That worked for some of the packages but now I am trying to do one that needs python-config which I don't find in the installation directory.
I tried building from source using mingw/msys but that had too many problems so I gave up on that. I thought I might try building with MSVC 2010 since it appears to be supported and I have that at work. There are a few problems with this: 1. though I have looked in a few readme files, I don't see instructions for installing what I have just built using MSVC. Where can I find the instructions for installing after building with MSVC? 2. I have searched the project directory but I don't find python-config. Is this some sort of optional thing that isn't built by default? I tried searching this list and although I find a few questions about it, I don't see an answer to where I can find it. 3. It seems that MSVC doesn't produce the .a library files needed for linking into a mingw built program. Do I have to do that fun trick to create the .a from the dll?
