First off thanks a ton for the new realease. The cutom data source was just what was needed and it has been working fine for me!
I am have some trouble understanding how to build this under winxp and mingw. Do you install Python outside of msys and then list it as and app in the FSTAB?
I built the ffmpeg piece fine, but how can scons work with mingw if there is no python for mingw?
Thanks,
James
Opps, I think I have this figured out. I was having a problem with python being in my path from something else. Sorry.

I have to concede defeat on this matter, I simply can't get it to work. I can get python to run in Mingw, but it seems like Mingw is calling Windows CMD to run python so it's not really running _in_ Mingw.
What happends is that while "g++" is installed and runnable from Mingw, when python tries to run it, it reports the standard windows CMD error that "g++ is not recognized as a command blah blah... " (I get this in Finnish so It's not exactly like that in english, but fact remains that python doesn't find g++ which seems to indicate that python is in fact not running _within_ Mingw... whatever that really means...)

Are you sure that you have mingw installed correctly in MSYS? I think python does get called from outside ming, but g++ should be accessable from msys/ming.
Hi,
I though I have sent a reply for this thread, but it seems I didn't. The last user is right. You have to install Msys + MinGW and run the buliding script within the Msys environment. Note that python can be out of your path, so don't forget to include it (export PATH=$PATH:/c/python).
Good Luck!!
Cheers.
