| This is the first patch in a series of patching of porting Python to native win32, while still using the autoconf-based build process. The compiler used is mingw, the build environment used is msys, a stripped down Cygwin from the mingw project. This patch does several things: * change _alloca to alloca for both mingw and Visual C++, to avoid unnecessary #ifdef-ing. * Change the makesetup shell script to work for win32, where for some weird reason we have a module 'nt' built from a posixmodule.c file. * Change on occurence of #ifdef MS_WINDOWS in posixmodule.c where it should really have been #ifdef Py_WIN_WIDE_FILENAMES * Change the #ifdefs in posixmodule.c so that it can be built with both MSVC and mingw The result of this patch is that we can build a statically built python.exe with a simple ./configure make under mingw/msys. There's, however, still of additional work to do until we can build a native win32 Python with the autoconf-based build process. Please apply this ASAP, as I want to avoid having a diverging Python tree on my harddisk (this makes patch creation a lot more difficult). |

| Logged In: YES user_id=163326 Guido, if you think that there should either be one big patch that enables Python to be built with mingw or nothing at all, then please close this as 'rejected' or whatever. There are good reasons for doing so, just as there are arguments for incremental patches, like I described above. I won't feel offended, especially as I know how annoying it is for myself to have a SF entry page full of this kind of patches/bugs :) |

| Logged In: YES user_id=6380 What I'd like to see most is for somebody with CVS commit permission for Python *and* an understanding of mingw to start making the changes in Python's CVS. I'd be willing to give you CVS permission for this, if you're willing to work with python-dev regarding the acceptability of the various changes you're proposing. I presume you'll quickly get a sense for what kind of changes are non-controversional and can be checked in without asking. |

| Logged In: YES user_id=163326 Sounds great. I'd have needed advice from python-dev anyway, especially on the parts where autoconf is concerned (I'm relatively green there). |

| Logged In: YES user_id=163326 This patch is too incomplete to be useful. I'm working on posixmodule.c again right now and will try to come up with something more complete. I'll have to ask on python-dev on how to proceed, anyway. |
