[wxpython-users] Building for MSW with cygwin/mingw32

[Frank Hempel]

Hello,

Building the current stable release (2.8.8.1) of wxPython under WinXP 
using cygwin/mingw32 following the instructions given in the BUILD page 
throws an "Undefined reference" error. It occurs during linking the 
_control_wrap.o when setting up the python wrapper. Building wx itself 
did work out, though.

Has someone already experienced that too?

Regards, Frank
