Python 2.1a2 builds OOTB under Cygwin 1.1.8 or later. One should use the following when configuring: configure --with-threads=no --with-libm= --with-suffix=.exe Note that the "--with-check-import-case" option is no longer needed for Cygwin. In fact, a different case-sensitive import patch was accepted into Python CVS. It was really for MacOSX, but it works for Cygwin too. See the following, if interested: http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103495&group_id=5470 Unfortunately, this patch may be removed from Python CVS. I'm currently in the process of facilitating its (or a modified version's) retention. Any support from the Cygwin community would be appreciated. The right place to post is python-dev AT python DOT org but it is a by-approval only list. So the only avenues are at the above URL or python-list AT python DOT org.
