I have not succeeded to build Python 2.4.2 from the source distn for Cygwin on XP (cygwin1.dll version 1005.7.0.0, Cygwin POSIX Emulation DLL).
I have applied the "bandaid solution" in README, ./configure --with-threads=no and edited the resulting Modules/Setup file for SSL. The make process always terminates with the following error message: Creating library file: libpython2.4.dll.a Python/pystate.o(.text+0x344): In function `PyThreadState_New': /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Temp/Python-2.4.2/Python/pystate.c:191: undefined reference to `__PyGILState_NoteThreadState' Modules/posixmodule.o(.text+0x131b): In function `posix_fdatasync': /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Temp/Python-2.4.2/Modules/posixmodule.c:541: undefined reference to `_fdatasync' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [libpython2.4.dll.a] Error 1 Does anyone have an idea what is wrong?
