You obviously understand way more about the problem than you've managed to communicate to me. Could you please try to spell out what the problem is and which components you think are at fault?
Well I don't think I can blame anything for being wrong. The problem is that I have the ActiveState versions of Python installed. Those versions are compiled with MSVC. On the last release I did some changes to BB to get MSVC, Mingw, and Cygwin to all compile and link to Python correctly. Except for one aspect, MinGW can't use the python*.lib because it's an MSVC lib. But it can use the python*.dll directly just fine, since it directly read the exported symbols in the DLL. So to get MinGW to work I just disabled, by renaming to python*~~~.lib, the link library. Not sure if there's anything we can, or should, fix though. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
