That is what I thought he meant as well, and it seems to be a widespread belief. The fact that numpy is built with mingw proves it wrong, obviously. I just wanted to point out what the real limitation is: don't mix and blend CRTs and CRT resources. This is obviously not a Windows or Python specific problem. > gfortran 4.4 is pre-released software, though, so take care. I know for > sure that gfortran + MS compiler can mix on 32 bits http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries I use this 32 bit mingw binary to build my Cython and f2py extensions. I works like a charm. I have licenses for Intel compilers at work, but I prefer gfortran 4.4.
