notes on compilation Python with MinGW gcc

Hello all,

recently I compiled Python with MinGW gcc under Windows.
If there are some interest, you can look at log of process at

http://uucode.com/texts/python-mingw/python-mingw.html

In short, about compiling with MinGW gcc:

* it is possible;
* result works;
* you must not do it unless you know for sure that you must do it;
* you must have a good knowledge of C and of debugging;
* in most cases all you need is to compile an extension module.

I'm attempting to follow the instructions at http://sebsauvage.net/python/mingw.html, without luck. I have Python 2.3, MinGW 3.2.3, ans SWIG 1.3.19. I get an export error on "initexample" when attempting the example. Do I need some extra switches to get SWIG to create that function? Or is it something else? Here's my example build:

Hello all. After a search on Google it would seem that the users of Mingw have not had good results in compiling the python sources natively. See at least: http://uucode.com/texts/python-mingw/python-mingw.html Having said that, kindly allow me to report that Mingw32 can

Here are some questions and suggestions of mine that I've collected in the last weeks on the language (please note that some (most?) of them are probably wrong/useless/silly, but I've seen that such notes help me understand a lot of things and to find my weak spots.) 1) I've seen that list pop/append is amortised to its tail, but not for its head. For this there is deque. But I think dynamical arrays can be made with some buffer at both...

After nine months of hard work, I am proud to introduce my baby to the world: an experimental Python-to-C++ compiler. It can convert many Python programs into optimized C++ code, without any user intervention such as adding type declarations. It uses rather advanced static type inference techniques to deduce type information by itself. In addition, it determines whether deduced types may be parameterized, and if so, it generates...

I have a lousy little Python extension, generated with the generous help of Pyrex. In Linux, things are simple. I compile the extension, link it against some C stuff, and *poof*! everything works. My employer wants me to create a Windows version of my extension that works with the vanilla Python 2.5 from python.org. My employment contract states that I won't be required to run Windows, and I desperately want to honor that clause....

Hi list members, It seems to me that this is discussed many times in the past but without progress. As I understand in general there is no objections and preferred cross-compilation has to be based on distutils (scons was rejected). So I would like to cross-compile from linux(build system) to the mingw(host system) and note some(many) problems:

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...
