Problem cmpiling M2Crypto

[Thomas G. Apostolou]

Dear friend  Heikki Toivonen,
thank you for replying to my quest...

> C:\Program Files\Plone 2\Python\lib\distutils\extension.py:128:
UserWarning:
> Unknown Extension options: 'swig_opts'

>>Hmm, I don't remember seeing that. But then again, I haven't compiled
>>with the same setup as you either.
I am in a quest to find where this comes from. But it is difficult to me as
i am a newbie to python and totaly new to SWIG... anyway

> Then i open SWIG\_lib.i file and change all %name with %rename

>>You don't need to change those, the name vs rename is just a warning.

> appart from this i can not find Python.h anywhere ni my pc (WinXp)

>>I think that's your real problem. You need the python header(s) etc. to

After changing all %name to %rename the message about Python.h stoped
appearing.
I also took the steps described in the INSTALL file of m2crypto pack:
"Preparation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Read Sebastien Sauvage's webpage:
http://sebsauvage.net/python/mingw.html"

but this is about using mingw32, isn't it?

What i get now is:
1) using "python setup.py build"

C:\Program Files\Plone 2\Python\lib\distutils\extension.py:128: UserWarning:

2) using "python setup.py build -cmingw32"

any help would be nice.
i would like to buy the 0.13 but the matter is for me to LEARN how to build
those packages, read and write Python, use Plone etc.
thanks to all of you people that have given so much of your time for a FREE
world...
