[Gdal-dev] python support under cygwin?

[Amici Alessandro]

Frank,

i installed Numeric-23.0 on cygwin in order to get python-gdal support.
on:
	$ ./configure --withou-ld-shared
	$ make
everything is ok, but on:
	# make install
i get the following error:

/bin/true gdal_wrap.o numpydataset.o gdalnumeric.o \
        -L.. -lgdal.1.1 -ljpeg -ltiff -lpng -lz -lm -lm -o _gdalmodule.so
../install-sh -d /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages
for f in *.py _gdalmodule.so ; do ../install-sh -c $f
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-pa
ckages ; done
install:  _gdalmodule.so does not exist
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/c/home/amici/devel/gdal-cvs-030509/pymod'
make: *** [install-actions] Error 2

the problem is linked to the lack of shared libraries (LD_SHARED=/bin/true)
on cygwin, which are assumed to be present in pymod/GNUmakefile.

is there any chance to get python support under cygwin?
have you (or anybody else) any idea on what needs to be done?
should i file a bug?

cheers,
alessandro
