IIRC, there are some patches in http://trac.cython.org/cython_trac/ to
make pyximport MinGW aware... Unfortunately, I did not have any chance
to review this, and Windows is always low in my priorities... You
know... the Windows OS has a lot of users, fans, and strong defenders
(we already had some of these "fights" here in this list!!!)... but
very few of them make any useful code contribution/testing/review for
their platform...
A fast workaround for your issue if to add a file named
"distutils.cfg" in C:\Python2.6\Lib\distutils (DISCLAIMER: do not
remember right now if this is the actual full path of distutils!) with
the contents below:
[build_ext]
compiler=mingw32
Alternatively, you can add a "pydistutils.cfg" file with the same
contents in %HOME% or %UserProfile% or watever your "home" directory
is in your Windows system (tip: use os.path.expanduser('~') in a
Python prompt to figure out the right place)
Hope this help...
BTW, If you can elaborate a bit more on this and contribute all this
stuff to the Cython wiki, it would be great....
