Re: [PyOpenGL-Devel] buying visual c++

Well, that was another frustrating hour and a half.  The only 
explanation I can come up with is that something's using C++ mode for 
compilation and that's causing the name mangling, there doesn't current 
appear to be a cross-compiler mechanism for resolving C++ mangling. 
 Adding the missing symbols to the def doesn't work (they still show as 
missing).  Using nm to extract the symbols directly from the VC++ .lib 
doesn't work (this is what the scipy guys do, but they explicitly note 
that it won't work for C++ code).

http://groups.google.ca/groups?q=python+extension+mingw32&lr=&selm=t9C38.10880%24Ar5.416374%40typhoon.austin.rr.com&rnum=7
http://www.scipy.org/site_content/remap?rmurl=http%3A//scipy.net/cgi-bin/viewcvsx.cgi/scipy/scipy_distutils/

Basically, with the exception of using nm on the lib, this is the same 
thing I've been doing.

BTW, the MSVC++ GL headers won't compile under Cygwin, will need to add 
that to the Win32 building documentation.

I'm back to asking if one of the developers would be willing to act as 
packager.

Packagers?  Wherefor art thou Packagers?
