rwmjones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Just to clarify, in the MinGW case we are interested in:
"build" = Fedora Linux, usually i386 or x86-64 (but not always) "host" = Windows i386 We can, to a limited extent, run the host binaries on the build system, using Wine (the Windows emulator). This doesn't always work, and in any case is usually regarded as the wrong thing to do because Wine is a very large and complicated build dependency which requires, amongst other things, a working X server. Also since Wine doesn't run on anything which is not x86-like, if we have to run Wine during the build then we cannot cross-compile from other Fedora build systems, specifically ppc and sparc. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1597850> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
