I have compiled libftdi using MinGW (both 32bit MinGW.org and the 32/64bit MinGW-w64 toolchain) under Windows. http://sourceforge.net/projects/picusb/files/ On the other hand, I do not use Active Python but rather the Python.org vanilla Python. I remembered that I have some challenges getting 64bit Python 2.7 to work with MinGW-w64. -- Xiaofan -- libftdi - see http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi for details.
