Dear list,
I was using autoconf/automake etc to build my python extension. Since
distutil seems to be easier, I have switched to this method. However,
when I build the module under windows, I am told that compiler version
mismatch... I am using msvc 7 and python was build by msvc 6.0.
I am not sure why compiler version matters here since
1. if proceed by removing corresponding lines in distutil, the generated
module works fine (as far as I can tell).
2. I am told that I can use minGW gcc ... Isn't mingw differ more with
msvc6 than msvc7?
3. I was using msvc7 (automake etc, not distutil) and everything was
fine. I was not even warned about potential problems.
Since there are many different Python out there (Official, ActivePython,
Enthough), do I have to figure out which compiler they use to build my
module for them? Currently, my MSVC7 built module works fine with all of
them.
Thanks.
