it is ok to assume that a cygwin installation is in c:\cygwin.
I think we should aim to support MSYS as well as Cygwin, but perhaps not for the first version where this goes in.
Not at all. I'm talking about the release process, and prerequisites required in that process. This is worth mentioning because the list of prerequisites you need to perform a Python release is already quite long:
- CVS
- putty (for CVS)
- VC7.1
- current, built versions of all libraries (zlib, bzip2, tcl/tk, bsddb, ...)
- Perl (needed to build OpenSSL)
- HTML help workshop
- (the platform SDK)(to build Itanium binaries, if desired) Now, I would be willing to add Cygwin on top of that - whether the build process also works with MSYS does not matter to me; I would not like a build process that required MSYS as a matter of preference.
OTOH, is it really necessary to have either MSYS or Cygwin? MinGW32 works standalone - distutils should be able to just invoke it.
I'm not talking about distutils, here.
Regards, Martin
