Hi Ng,
I know the site
,
which describes building wxPyhton on Windows, Linux,
I don't have the Visual Studio, only the VC Toolkit.
Anyone tried with Mingw or Dev-C++?
is this not possible?
Has anyone practical experience with it?
For those who tried:
Is the page actual?
Any problems?
Unicode build and ansi build?
Thank you!
The nice thing would be only sometimes updating CVS and start the
compiler, without needing download and install wxPython new.
Also I think, one gets a better insight with compiling himself.

It will take some hacking in setup.py and config.py, but I expect that
it is possible. If you get it working please send me patches.

I was living under the impression that the extensions should be built with
the same compiler as python was built.

Could I use for example VC++ 6 to build wxpython or other extensions for
python 2.4 or 2.5?

That's easiest, but ironically, while it's hard to build extensions with
a different version of the MS compiler, it's not too bad hard to use
MingGW -- it's been a while wince I've done it though.

As long as you build Python too (plus any other extensions that you
use.) The issue is the difference in the C runtime DLL that the
different compilers use. Since the DLL version is linked to by Python
itself, and also all the binary extensions, then they all need to use
the same one, and each major version of the MSVC compiler provides a
different C runtime. Windows compilers, such as mingw32, can be
told to use those same runtime libs, so as long as you can get the
combination right they should work.

Just as I suspected no job for a newbie man do I love python
really really love it :)
