Maybe that is my error. I recommend using 2.1b1 -- it builds OOTB and supports shared extensions too. See the following for details: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-03/msg00003.html If you are really determined to use 2.0, then see the following for my original 2.0 patch: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-11/msg00471.html Note that the above patch (and others) are part of Python CVS and hence are already included in 2.1b1.
