build python using mingw


Hi,

I tried to build python 2.3 on a windows 2k machine using
mingw. configure works fine, but when compiling
Module/posixmodule.c I get lots of warnings,
one is
'SIGCHLD undeclared' (first use in this function).

Did anyone suceed in building Python + mingw ?

Greetings, Uwe

AFAIK no, but some people are trying to do so.
Try Google with:

build mingw group:comp.lang .python.*

But don't let that put you off doing it yourself: IIRC, it's been on
Gerhard's list for a long while, but he hasn't had sufficient 'round
tuits' to finish it (assuming I recall correctly that it *was* Gerhard
Haring).

Is there anything better than using make for fairly large C++ projects? Could be an open-source, free or inexpensive commercial tool. It needs to easily integrate with a SCM tool. I want to hear from experienced users. thanks in advance Marco

I'm working on building python 2.4.2 with the mingw compiler (on cygwin). It runs into problems with Modules/posixmodule.c, because the mingw compiler does *not* provide complex process management functionality. I can exclude posixmodule.c from the python build process, but gcc still fails when it tries to link together the python executable: (Error message follows) ================================= gcc -mno-cygwin ...

I've written a simple Python extension for UNIX, but I need to get it working on Windows now. I'm having some difficulties figuring out how to do this.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
