Subject: Problem with Python programs with binary components, who to blame?
Date: Sun, 04 Sep 2016 14:34:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <156f59f4272.c6a11ec33673.3924353846235894325@zoho.com> (raw)

Hi, 

Before writing any formal bug report I thought I might ask first whether the 
problem I am seeing is something that can be even fixed from Cygwin's side. 

The issue has to do with the compilation of Python binary packages for Python 
inside Cygwin (Python installed as a Cygwin package as opposed to Python for 
Windows).  
The problem starts to show as gcc warnings: "[…] redeclared without dllimport 
attribute: previous dllimport ignored", and ends with linkers errors such as: 
"relocation truncated to fit [...] against undefined symbol".

I am guessing the problem might actually lie within the Python sources itself 
but I am not entirely sure.

So is this some issue that is even worth further research and filing a bug 
report here?
