[Zope3-dev] compiling Zope3 on Windows

[Garrett Smith]

Hate to bring up this topic again, but I'm unable to compile Zope3 using
Borland's compiler or MinGW.

- Using Borland's free compiler (bcpp), I get

Error: 'C:\LIB\PYTHON2.2.3\LIBS\PYTHON22.LIB' contains invalid OMF
record, type 0x21 (possibly COFF)
error: command 'ilink32.exe' failed with exit status 2

- Using MinGW (ming32) I get

build\temp.win32-2.2\Release\_zodb_btrees_oobtree.o(.text+0x93ca):_zodb_
btrees_OOBTree.c: undefined reference to `_imp__PyType_Type'
dllwrap: gcc exited with status 1
error: command 'dllwrap' failed with exit status 1

There are many undefined references to various _imp__* symbols in the
stderr output for MinGW.

Is anyone else able to compile on Windows with something other than MS
VC++?
