I have the MinGW32 and the one referenced above as well. Mingw is useless, since you want to build a 64 bits extension. You have to use mingw-w64. >> erence to `_imp__Py_BuildValue' >> >> build\temp.win-amd64-3.1\Release\finance.o:finance.c:(.text+0x74): >> undefined ref >> >> erence to `Py_Module_Create' This is exactly the problem I refered to in the issue 4709 you mentioned. Since the issue is stalled ATM, you have to define the necessary macro by yourself in distutils (using define_macros in setup.py). Note that mingw-w64 is totally unsupported by python ATM, and you will have a hard time making it work. By far the easiest solution to build 64 bits extensions on windows is to use MS compilers (which are available for free). cheers, David _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
