So I have a few Python C extensions I have previously built for and used in 32 bit Python running in Win7. I have now however switched to 64 bit Python, and I am having issues building the C extension with MinGW-w64. I made the changes to distutils as per this post, but I am getting some weird errors suggesting something is wrong:
- Which Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler to Use with A Specific Python Version ?
- Distutils Notes
- Compilers Installation and Configuration
Each Python version uses a specific compiler version (e.g. CPython 2.7 uses Visual C++ 9.0, CPython 3.3 uses Visual C++ 10.0, etc). So, you need to install the compiler version that corresponds to your Python version :
If the package's setup.py (still) uses distutils rather than the recommended setuptools, you may need extra steps: 1. distutils only supports the very minimum of compiler setups. The sections in this guide corresponding to them explicitly mention distutils. 2. For other setups, you need to run the compilation from the "SDK prompt" of the correspond...
Compatible architectures are specified for each compiler in brackets. Before do anything, install or upgrade the SetuptoolsPython package. It contain compatibility improvements and add automatic use of compilers:
Mar 8, 2024 · 1. Install Mingw-w64 via the SourceForge website. Click Mingw-w64 to download the Windows Mingw-w64 installer. 2. Run the installer. 3. For Architecture select x86_64 and then select Next. 4. Add the path to your Mingw-w64 bin folder to the Windows PATH environment variable by using the following steps:
The goal of mingwpy project is to provide a free toolchain for building Python extensions for Windows OS, and make sure that those extensions are compatible with CPython compiled with native Visual Studio. mingwpy toolchain contains customized gcc, g++ and gfortran compilers of the GNU toolchain based on the Mingw-w64 and the mingw-builds projects.
On macOS case-insensitive file systems and on Cygwin, the executable is called python.exe; elsewhere it's just python. Building a complete Python installation requires the use of various additional third-party libraries, depending on your build platform and configure options. Not all standard library modules are buildable or useable on all ...
This repository contains short scripts ,which can patch the python on windows to let the python support compile native c/c++ code with MinGW/MinGW-w64 Warning: Tested on python3.8, It should also work on other version.

I configured MinGW and distutils so now I can compile extensions using this command: setup.py install MinGW's gcc compiler will be used and package will be installed. For that I installed MinGW and created distutils.cfg file with following content: [build] compiler = mingw32 It's cool but now I'd like to use all pip benefits.
