I know of MSYS, but it is not very pleasant to use, if only because it is extremely slow. When I need to build things for windows, I much prefer cross compiling to using MSYS. I also think that cross compilation is more useful than native mingw build alone - there are patches for cross compilation, but I don't know their current status, cheers, David _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
