[issue4709] Mingw-w64 and python on windows x64
John Pye added the comment: Hi Martin I have documented a build process for a Python package on MinGW-w64, including a requirement that this patch be applied. You might want to revisit it, given that your attempt to reproduce this bug earlier was unsuccessful. http://ascend4.org/Building_ASCEND_for_64-bit_Windows Please let me know if you're looking at it and if there's anything that needs to be clarified.

[issue4709] Mingw-w64 and python on windows x64
John Pye added the comment: Martin, Ralf is right and my as previously linked is about building a python extension. I should have been more explicit about that. FWIW I found that the configure scripts on MinGW-w64 generally work fine if you add a "--build=x86_64-w64-mingw32" argument on the ./configure command line. Then you should only add /mingw/bin to your path (and edit /etc/fstab to map c:/mingw64 to /mingw). Adding those subdirectories to the PATH doesn't seem to be successful; I suspect that those binaries are off the standard path for some reason, eg internal use by GCC only, or something (GCC seems to do some clever tricks with relative paths, so I'm sure it's important that you use the correct starting executable). -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue4709> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

John Pye added the comment: This bug is still present in Python 2.7.5 on Windows 64-bit . I am currently providing the following instructions for MinGW-w64 users wanting to link to Python27.dll: http://ascend4.org/Setting_up_a_MinGW-w64_build_environment#Setup_Python_for_compilation_of_extensions -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue4709> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
