New submission from Black Dew <black...@gmail.com>: This page http://docs.python.org/install/index.html#gnu-c-cygwin-mingw says:
"These instructions only apply if you’re using a version of Python prior to 2.4.1 with a MinGW prior to 3.0.0 (with binutils-2.13.90- 20030111-1)" But it seems that it is still needed for Python 2.6 with MinGW 3.15.2. Without manually generating libpython26.a I can't compile any python extension, geting a bunch of undefined references, for example: c:\mingw\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -shared -s build\temp.win32-2.6 \Release\zfec\fec.o build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\zfec\_fecmodule.o build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\zfec\_fec.def -LC:\Python26\libs - LC:\Python26\PCbuild -lpython26 -lmsvcr90 -o build\lib.win32-2.6 \zfec\_fec.pyd build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\zfec\_fecmodule.o:_fecmodule.c: (.text+0xefa): undefined reference to `_imp___Py_TrueStruct' build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\zfec\_fecmodule.o:_fecmodule.c: (.text+0xf01): undefined reference to `_imp___Py_TrueStruct' build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\zfec\_fecmodule.o:_fecmodule.c: (.text+0xf08): undefined reference to `_imp___Py_ZeroStruct' build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\zfec\_fecmodule.o:_fecmodule.c: (.text+0xf0f): undefined reference to `_imp___Py_ZeroStruct' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 If I do generate libpython26.a - everythong works fine. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation, Extension Modules messages: 89244 nosy: bdew, georg.brandl severity: normal status: open title: Misleading instructions for installing extensions with mingw versions: 3rd party, Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6264> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
