That is the one this issue is about. It *is* possible (mingw grew the -lmsvcr100 and similar flags, at least in part to support it). But it's not easy to set up, and the people asking for it to be supported have never really addressed all of the issues involved (at least not in a reproducible/supportable way). Building Python with mingw, while out of scope for this particular issue, has always failed because nobody has been willing to step up and offer the long-term support commitment that would be required, AIUI. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4709> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
