[issue7091] Distutils build ignores the --compiler command line option

[jmb]

New submission from jmb :

I tried building an extension on windows with the following command:

> python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32

and got an error: "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat". The way I understand
it, that error shows that it tried to use the MSVC compiler instead of
obeying the --compiler=mingw32 command line option.

I then tried to give a bogus compiler value and got the same error
message (iirc python 2.5 used to say that it didn't know the 'bogus'
compiler).

Finally, I modified _default_compilers in distutils/ccompiler.py and put
'mingw32' in the 'nt' key. Afterward, my extension compiled and works
properly.

Python version: 2.6.3 on WinXP 32 bits.

[issue2889] curses for windows (alternative patch)

[jmb]

jmb  added the comment:

I've built a package for python 2.6 using a slightly modified version of
this patch. I've uploaded it here: http://jeberger.free.fr/python/

I'm attaching my version of the patch here. I had to make two
modifications for it to work:
- Change all references to _ISPAD into _PAD (obviously this needs to be
done better since what I did will break the ncurses compatibility);
- Change "(long) (n << 8)" into "COLOR_PAIR (n)". This should be
compatible between curses implementations.

With this package, I've been able to run the Mercurial "crecord"
extension on Windows.
