[Gdal-dev] mingw build

[Pete Nagy]

I'm trying to build gdal using mingw and cygwin on windows, but I get a
configure error:

checking where python Makefiles are... found
checking Python makefile... C:\Python24/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile
missing, python disabled.

I try to use prebuilt windows binaries whenever possible, and did not
build python myself.  Does anyone have any hints on getting gdal to
build with the least amount of effort?  If I just download the python
source and find this Makefile that gdal seems to be looking for, would
this be sufficient?

Thanks for any advice,

-> Pete
