mingw32 is supported and can compile many extensions. See the following
post:

If you meant something else with your comment, please explain.

Why do you say that? mingw might just work fine
(depending on particular details of the extension
module in question).

That's for Python 2.4. I'm not sure it works the same way with Python
2.5. If someone has information to the contrary, it would be excellent
to get confirmation and the steps that are necessary...

I've used mingw32 to build gmpy for Python 2.5 without any problems. It
looks like mingw32 works just fine with Python 2.5 (assuming the
extension will compile with mingw32).

thanks for the reference.. I just got the latest
source for python and reading contents in PC, PCbuild,
PCbuild8 directories. It would be nice if the windows
build was as simple as running ./configure and make...

The link for pexports-0.42h.zip is broken so I cant
test it on an extension.

pexports is only needed for Python 2.3. It is not required for 2.4 or
2.5.

At the moment SourceForge is only listing one (UK) mirror for mingw, and
that seems to be down. I'm guessing something is broken, since I know it
used to be much more widely available.

Only one mirror (Kent) is available for any project. It's been like
this for nearly a day now, although the site status still hasn't
changed from "online". There are about 50 open tickets open about it
(one would think that people that are able to find the sf.net tickets
would be able to check for duplicates first...).

I see. Well, now you know why the PSF has continued to migrate away from
SourceForge. They are, at best, victims of their own success.

I found that a wget will, eventually, access the required files, albeit
after several retries - I'd be pretty annoyed about this state of
affairs if I were running the mirror at UKC.
