I asked about this on the mingw list, with the following result:

I'll try that -- getting mingw to use the same C library that Python
uses. Looks like you can do an in-place update -- the pyMinGW toolkit
provides a tool which does that.

No, but I didn't try very hard. Other things came up and I haven't
gotten back to it yet.

RE: building PyLucene 3.0.2 on Win7/MinGW with Python 2.7
Posted by Thomas Koch <ko...@orbiteam.de>.
Bill,
I just read through your posting about the MinGW issues in "DLL Hell". Did
you ever manage to get MinGW compile JCC and link against msvcr90.dll?
I think I'm facing a similar issue (see post of today) and tried to change
MinGW spec to use msvcr90 (as mentioned in
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/HOWTO_Use_the_GCC_specs_file) but then "python
setup.py build --compiler=mingw32" runs in to ldd issues (I guess that's
because I still need to "hack" minGW itself...) - see attached output.

(How) did you manage that?
