[Python-Dev] Modules/config.c on win32 (mingw port) (original) (raw)

Hello all,

I'm progressing with my mingw port. The current state is that I can build a Python DLL and EXE with only minimally babysitting the build process. This looks already pretty nice, doesn't it?

Python 2.3a0 (#47, Mar 8 2002, 08:49:19) [GCC 2.95.3-6 (mingw special)] on mingw32_nt-5.11 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

:-)

The only "babysitting" needed is to add threadmodule.o, posixmodule.o and signalmodule.o to the MODULE_OBJS in the Makefile. Problem 1 is how to get rid of that? Anybody has an idea?

Problem two is that even if I add these to the MODULE_OBJS, Modules/config.c isn't appropriately created. I currently haven't got any idea how to achieve this. To be honest, the part of the build process (Modules/makesetup and friends) which statically links modules to the Python interpreter puzzles me as a whole.

It would be really nice if you could give me some tips.
