regarding compiling the Python 2.7 and 3.3 with mingw

[erikj]

Hi,

have you been able to resolve this issue for 3.3 ? I've arrived
at the same point after applying the patches mentioned here :

http://bugs.python.org/issue3754

and creating a custom site.config

Thx,

Erik

First of all, I need python installed in the msys but I try all my ways to install 2.6.x, 2.7.x, 3.2.x and 3.3.0, no one succeed. I search all issues and google the related information online, it seems that it doesn't support python on mingw? But what stranger is there are a few posts here with the patch presented, so is there any way to make the source compiled in mingw? I try all the available patches but again, it didn't solve the problem. Here are the error messages when I try to compile the 3.3.0 in mingw,
