The attached code snippet, j2.c, demonstrates a Cygwin specific compilation problem that affects many Python shared extension modules: $ gcc -c j2.c j2.c:17: initializer element is not constant j2.c:17: (near initialization for `f.get') It appears that Cygwin gcc considers function pointers marked "__declspec(dllimport)" unacceptable to use as initializer constants. My standard workaround is to submit a patch that is the equivalent of compiling this snippet with -DWORKAROUND: $ gcc -DWORKAROUND -c j2.c Unfortunately, this style of patch is no longer acceptable: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-December/031534.html Can anyone suggest a better (hopefully less intrusive) workaround?
