[Python-Dev] Non-Visual Studio builds on Windows XP? (original) (raw)

I'm probably missing something obvious, but what can I use to interpret the vcproj build files?

The free toolkit only seems to contain the compiler and the linker, neither of which has a clue about .vcproj or .sln files.

And MinGW needs a normal make file, rather than the Microsoft custom formats.

Any pointers to more info would be appreciated. . .

(If no-one else is trying to do this, my next step will be to write my own .vcproj -> makefile Python script to get something I can feed to MinGW, since my Google searches haven't turned up anything useful. I'd just hate to do that unnecessarily)

Regards, Nick.
