wxPython built on windows with GCC (cygwin/mingw)

[Edouard TISSERANT]

Hello.

I'm Edouard TISSERANT, from the wxSVG (www.wxsvg.org) project (svg
renderer for wx with python bindings).
It works smoothly on Linux, and I've tried to port python wrappers to
windows.

It is not possible to link C++ libraries from both VC++ and GCC. In
other words to build C++ extensions for wxPython on windows require
wxPython to be compiled with GCC, not visual studio.

This is the reason why I ported wxPython to mingw32 (using cygwin as a
posix shell).

It is almost working but an important bug remain, and I can't solve it :
It only works in python interactive mode ( python.exe -i ), typing code
line one after the other...

I've written a wiki page for the whole procedure here :
http://www.mingw.org/cms/node/17

I hope this port to mingw will contribute to the wxPython project,
letting extensions be built for windows more easily and with free tools.

Help would be very welcome.

Best regards

Edouard
