mdkdir /mingw/lib/msvcr71 cp -f libmsvcr71.a /mingw/lib/msvcr71/libmsvcrt.a gcc ${OBJECTS} -L /mingw/lib/msvcr71 Or you could hand edit gcc's specs file, replacing -lmsvcrt with -lwhatever.. Patches to facilitate switching to an alternative msvcr*.dll could be submitted to gcc. Danny -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
