building portable win32 extensions


I'm using mingw to build python extensions. To ensure maximum
portability across windows platforms (98, ME, NT, XP) is it a good
idea to build on a lowest common denominator system, eg, 98, or should
it not matter? I'm worried, for example, that windows ME might have a
funny system library that end up in the pyd and other systems will
fail to link.

I tried to adapt the instructions for building the M2Crypto module (http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/m2/INSTALL.html) to build a version compatible with Python2.3, but I've had some mixed results.

Hi folks, I have a quite big class, which I want to use on UNIX-like systems and on win32. Until now, everything is absolutely portable. But now I need to read a directory and use the os dependent functions. So need to define and include different libraries and functions for both OS-types. How can I do this using e.g. compiler #define's that all compilers understand? And can I do this also inside of a function?

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...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
