[Zope-dev] Zope & Cygwin

[Phillip J. Eby]

Perhaps I'm confused, but I have an old (>3 months) version of Cygwin, but 
when I installed the Win32 Python 2.1.1 release, I was able to build 
extension modules just fine using distutils, after I built an import 
library.  You shouldn't need VC++ to build Zope extensions, just distutils 
and gcc.  Be sure to use (the equivalent of):

python211 setup.py build --compiler=mingw32
