for building extensions with non-MS compilers, it sounds like a small change to PC/config.h is needed. Rene Liebscher suggests changing

#ifndef USEDLEXPORT /* So nobody needs to specify the .lib in their Makefile any more */ #ifdef DEBUG #pragma comment(lib,"python20d.lib") #else #pragma comment(lib,"python20.lib") #endif #endif /* USEDLEXPORT */ to #if !defined(USEDLEXPORT) && defined(MSCVER) ... That way, the convenience pragma will still be there for MSVC users, but it won't break building extensions with Borland C++.

OK by me.

... While I have your attention,

You're pushing your luck, Greg .

Rene also suggests the convention of "bcpppython20.lib" for the Borland-format lib file, with other compilers (library formats) supported in future similarly. Works for me -- anyone have any problems with that?

Nope, but I don't understand anything about how Borland differs from the real <0.5 wink> Windows compiler, so don't know squat about the issues or the goals. If it works for Rene, I give up without a whimper.
