Hi, This is a very specific question. I am trying to figure out whether or not I can use pre-built python libraries and headers on Windows in a MinGW build on Linux. Essentially I have some python and C++ code which interface via cython and pybind. I want to build a self contained C++ binary for Windows with the MinGW compiler that runs on Linux. For both Cython and PyBind, they need to compile with the python headers and link against the python DLL in order to run on Windows.
I know that the python DLL specifically are compiled with the MSVC compiler, however since it is in C, the ABI between the DLL should be compatible with MinGW, and I should be able to import and link against it. My question is will this work, or will there be some other problem that I might run into. I am using python 3.7 by the way for this. Let me know what you think, Thanks :) Ankit *Ankit Agarwal* Software Engineer an...@applied.co +1 630.506.4914 Applied Intuition, Inc. <https://applied.co> blog.applied.co -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
