[SciPy-user] Compiling python C-extensions to 'Enthon' on Win32

[eric jones]

Python Enthought Edition comes with mingw 
(C:\Python23\Enthought\MingW\bin) and should set up your path correctly 
to use it (try gcc from the command line to make sure it is there).  
When running setup.py for your module, you can do the following:

    python setup.py build_ext --compiler=mingw32

and that should work.
