Compile python with Mingw

[fdu.xiaojf at gmail.com]

Hi all,


I was trying to build pymol with mingw on my windows box, but during the
compilation it said that my python.exe was built with VS2003, and in
order to build compatible binary executable file, I have to build pymol
with VS2003. I don't have VS2003, so I think I may compile both pymol
and python with mingw.

Can somebody give me some hints on how to build python with mingw? I
have googled the web, and it seems that few people have tried mingw
with python. I have found mingwpython, but it's not for python 2.5.

Thanks.
