Compile kinterbasdb with mingw32 and python 2.6 - DLL load failed

[Laszlo Nagy]

This is what I did so far:

#1. Install Python 2.6, Firebird 1.5 server (with libs and headers),
egenix mx base and mingw C compiler
#2. put "c:\MinGW\bin" on the PATH (or wherever it is)
#3. extract kinterbasdb source to a temp folder
#4. hack setup.cfg. Change the build section:

[build]
compiler=mingw32

#5. hack setup.py

Replace this:
customCompilerName = 'msvc'
With this:
customCompilerName = 'mingw32-gcc'

#6. run "python setup.py install"

The building and installation went find. But I cannot "import
kinterbasdb" because I get a "DLL load failed" error. I figured out that
has something to do with msvcr90 and "_ftime". Can you please give me
some advice how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Laszlo
