SWIG, MinGW, and Python 2.3 problem

[Phil Schmidt]

I'm attempting to follow the instructions at
http://sebsauvage.net/python/mingw.html, without luck.

I have Python 2.3, MinGW 3.2.3, ans SWIG 1.3.19.

I get an export error on "initexample" when attempting the example. Do
I need some extra switches to get SWIG to create that function? Or is
it something else?

Here's my example build:
