[Xapian-discuss] cygwin python binding build error

[Olly Betts]

There are cygwin ports packages of Xapian - looking at them here I see
various patches are being applied, but nobody has told me about these
before so they aren't in the source code tarballs:

http://cygwin-ports.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cygwin-ports/ports/trunk/libs/xapian-bindings/

I'll apply the fixes I actually understand shortly, but I don't follow
why all of them are needed - for example, why -module is dropped from
*_la_LDFLAGS (but not in all cases - e.g. for Ruby it is left in)?

Cheers,
