Would you like to contribute this package? > And about python, there's something odd with libpython2.4.dll.a: it is > located in /usr/lib/python2.4/config/, When I added shared extension support to Cygwin Python, I put libpython2.4.dll.a in /usr/lib/python2.4/config because that was the same directory that contains libpython2.4.a (and the other files needed for extending/embedding) on Unix. > unlike Linux where it is located in /usr/lib/python2.4/ Which file are you referring to on Linux? libpython2.4.so?

AFAICT, Distutils sets gcc's -L correctly under Cygwin. > Could this somehow be fixed? But, where should this be fixed? Cygwin Python's shared extension support hasn't changed in a long time. I'm afraid I'll break someone's build, if I move libpython2.4.dll.a to another directory.
