[Xapian-devel] Building Xapian on Windows

[bear]

I was chugging along following the various mailing list postings on how 
to build Xapian on windows when I got to the python bindings step and 
hit a snag.

It seems that since I used a MSVC build of python (version 2.4) and that 
I'm doing a cygwin build of xapian I will have nothing but grief.  :)

First I tried the CPPFLAGS=-DPY_LONG_LONG="long long" fix for the error: 
'__int64' does not name a type but while that worked I then later got 
all kinds of linker errors.

Has Xapian been built using MSVC?  Or is there something I can do to 
build the bindings?

Xapian itself seems to have built just fine under cygwin and has 
generated a number of .exe's

I figured I would post a question before I fire up MSVC and attempt to 
build a solution file for it.

thanks!
