Hi all, I have been battling this for a bit. I am trying to compile the meld3 (http://www.plope.com/software/meld3) Python extension under Windows 2003 (Python 2.5 final MinGW (MinGW-5.1.3.exe).
I settled on the method outlined at http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyrexOnWindows for compiling Python extensions on Windows (and followed those directions). Unfortunately, this is the output I received on my first attempt (which is better than nothing I guess :-)): C:\meld3-0.6>python setup. py install running install running build running build_py creating build creating build\lib.win32-2.5 creating build\lib.win32-2.5\meld3 copying meld3\ clearsilverprofile.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\meld3 copying meld3\example. py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\meld3 copying meld3\meld3.py -> build\lib.win32- 2.5\meld3 copying meld3\melddiff.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\meld3 copying meld3\meldprofile.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\meld3 copying meld3\setup.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\meld3 copying meld3\testclone.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\meld3 copying meld3\test_getiterator. py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\meld3 copying meld3\test_meld3.py -> build\lib.win32- 2.5\meld3 copying meld3\zptprofile.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\meld3 copying meld3\__init__.py -> build\lib.win32-2.5\meld3 running build_ext building 'meld3/cmeld3' extension creating build\temp.win32- 2.5 creating build\temp.win32-2.5\Release creating build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\meld3 C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe - mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall -IC:\Python25\include -IC :\Python25\PC -c meld3/cmeld3.c -o build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\meld3\cmeld3.o writing build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\meld3\cmeld3.def C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe -mno -cygwin -shared -s build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\meld3\cmeld3.o build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\meld3\cmeld3.def -LC:\Python25\libs -LC:\Python25\PCBuild -lpython25 -lmsvcr71 -o build\lib.win32-2.5\meld3/cmeld3.pyd Cannot export initmeld3/cmeld3: symbol not defined collect2: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'gcc ' failed with exit status 1 When I opened build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\meld3\cmeld3.def, I found: LIBRARY cmeld3.pyd EXPORTS initmeld3/cmeld3 When I changed the last line from "initmeld3/cmeld3" to "initcmeld3" (adding a "c" and dropping the "/cmeld3") like so: LIBRARY cmeld3.pyd EXPORTS initcmeld3 and reran the compile command manually: C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -shared -s build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\meld3\cmeld3.o build\temp.win32-2.5\Release\meld3\cmeld3.def -LC:\Python25\libs -LC:\Python25\PCBuild -lpython25 -lmsvcr71 -o build\lib.win32-2.5\meld3/cmeld3.pyd ..it compiled cmeld.pyd.

Any thoughts?
