[issue3871] cross and native build of python for mingw* hosts

Jason Huntley added the comment:

Finally! I was able to get all building on mingw64, gcc 4.7.2, and python 3.3. I had to take everybody's work here a little further, and I have produced a new patch which will build python33 using the latest minw64 compiler in an msys environment.

I cloned the 3.3 branch and applied the latest patch available here, py3k-20121004-MINGW.patch. I had to make quite a few more updates to get all the modules compiling with 4.7.2 and python find all the modules in the correct paths in an msys/mingw64 environment. I've compiled another patch, which addresses all the latest issues.

For all interested, run my setup script from the following location:

https://github.com/onepremise/MinGW-AD64S/

Just open dos in admin mode and run setup.bat.

This will build all the required dependencies and finally python 3.3.
