I'm sorry if I seem dense throughout all of this, XD. Okay, so I take your package there, unzip it. I copy the pygame source code trunk into there. I then use the windows cmd, and cd into that directory, and run python setup.py --compiler=mingw32 install ?
I'm sorry, but you're going to need explicate more steps, and that, because nothing is working for me. Doing the above, after I removed mingw32, and msys, then reinstalled them, then unzipped the msyscore archive in the msys directory to update to 1.0.11, I get this: Hunting dependencies.... /bin/sh/ : sdl-config: No such directory or file WARNING: "sdl-config" failed! /bin/shL smpeg-config: No such directory or file WARNING: "smpeg-config" failed! Normally things work for me, but I'm having a lot of trouble here, because nothing is clear, and Windows has the worst command-line utility around. This is by no means a condemnation of you guys, just that you guys are expecting more out of me, and its just not happening. -Tyler On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 4:34 PM, René Dudfield <ren...@gmail.com> wrote: > hi, > > try this: > http://rene.f0o.com/~rene/pygame_mingw32_compile_pack.zip<http://rene.f0o.com/%7Erene/pygame_mingw32_compile_pack.zip> > > They are the installers for mingw stuff I last installed on my windows > machine to compile pygame.
