build python using mingw

[Uwe Schmitt]

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).
