BUILDING ON WINDOWS:
If you are building on Windows, then the easy way is to install cygwin and
use cygwin version of Python and the cygwin versions of all dependencies
(which will happen naturally if you follow this README -- note that you
cannot use Windows-native versions of any of the dependencies -- they all
have to be cygwin versions).
The second-easiest way is to install cygwin and use cygwin development tools
such as bash, GNU make, gcc, etc., but install the Windows-native version of
Python and the Windows-native versions of all of the dependencies. If you
create a distutils config file (as per
http://docs.python.org/inst/config-syntax.html ) and put "compiler=mingw32"
in it, then you can follow the rest of this README and the dependencies will
all be automatically built (by the cygwin gcc compiler) as Windows-native
libraries.
The third-easiest way is to use a Microsoft compiler or some other compiler.
This README does not explain how to do that. You are on your own for now,
but please feel free to contribute a document which explains how to build all
these dependencies using your favorite compiler.
