Normally things work for me, but I'm having a lot of trouble here,
because nothing is clear, and Windows has the worst command-line
utility around. This is by no means a condemnation of you guys, just
that you guys are expecting more out of me, and its just not happening.

hi,
try this:

<http://rene.f0o.com/%7Erene/pygame_mingw32_compile_pack.zip>
They are the installers for mingw stuff I last installed on my
windows machine to compile pygame. Other people have used those
to successfully compile it too... so it should work.
Also, if you get the dependency sources that Lenard collected on
his page in one bundle:
http://www3.telus.net/len_l/pygame/Pygame-1.9.0-deps-src.zip
I think the directory structure matters too:
# directory with all the source deps in it:
pygame/
# the trunk is here:
pygame/PyGame/

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Does anyone have a better
guide or series of steps to compiling pygame? Those steps
should include properly install msys and associated packages.
If not, I'll go over and start using the prebuilts. Thanks for
the effort Lenard.

suggest using the most recent versions available.

Which package are you trying to build. Unless the
thing crashed
completely msys_build_deps.py should have displayed
a listing at
the end showing where it stalled, that is, it will
show which DLL
were not installed. The packages taken straight
form SVN may not
have a .configure file. msys_build_deps.py will
create those
automatically for SDL, SDL_mixer and smpeg. If any
other packages
were taken from SVN then it will fail. To manually
create a
configure file start the Msys console, go into the
package's root
directory and type './autogen.sh'.
Anyway, the general Unix steps msys_build_deps.py
takes to
installing a package are:
./autogen.sh # only for SVN packages
./configure
make
make install
strip /usr/local/bin/<lib-name>.DLL
The msys shell scripts run to build the packages
are found at the
end of msys_build_deps.py

Okay, thanks! It went past that, but now its
getting an error
that says:

Any idea whats going on here?

Hi Tyler,
I wrote msys_build_deps.py and look after
the Windows
dependencies. I haven't seen this error
before. I run the
program
on both Win 98 and XP. If you are using Msys
1.0.10 try
upgrading
to 1.0.11. I only user 1.0.10 because 1.0.11
doesn't work
on Win
98 and I have limited access to XP. Msys
1.0.11 will be
needed to
build ffmpeg anyway, since the bash shell in
1.0.10 is
apparently
too old for the ffmpeg configure script. If
you continue having
problems then just use the prebuilt
dependencies for now:
http://www3.telus.net/len_l/pygame/prebuilt-pygame1.9.0-msvcr71-win32.zip
(for Python 2.4-2.5)
(md5sum 0c9b5c65dbd10b5469d2523cf58b7890)
http://www3.telus.net/len_l/pygame/prebuilt-pygame1.9.0-msvcr90-win32.zip
(for Python 2.6-3.x)
(md5sum 8dcd7e7c840d656c3ca7576095777c81)
Install the prebuilt directory into the
Pygame root
directory, run
config.py and answer 'n' to msys built, 'y'
to use prebuilts.
I suppose now I must really try to get
ffmpeg built.

Not python under cygwin. Thats a

Python is installed. Msys is installed,
but throwing
that error.
And no worries. I just wasn't clear
enough. :)

Why are you trying to install Python
under CygWin?
From what I
understand, most programmers consider
that a
separate platform
from Windows. You should probably try
to install the
native
windows version, instead of the linux
version
running under
cygwin. Sorry if I misunderstood you.
