It works with 1.40 !

notice: [python-cfg] running command '"C:\Python25\python" -c "from sys
import *; print
'version=%d.%d\nplatform=%s\nprefix=%s\nexec_prefix=%s\nexecutable=%s' %
(version_info[0],version_info[1],platform,prefix,exec_prefix,executable)"
2>&1'notice: [python-cfg] ...requested configuration matched!

notice: [python-cfg] Details of this Python configuration:

Now, I am seeing a big set of compilation errors:

C:/Python25/Include/longobject.h:47: error: `__int64' does not name a
type

to terminate the template argument list

This is stock python 2.5 with mingw gcc 3.4.2 . Should I upgrade gcc ?
Or is stock python incompatible with mingw ?

cheers,
