re[6]: [rdiff-backup-users] Win32 question

[Greg Freemyer]

Ben,

import C

has the same problem standalone as in the program.

I did some google-ing and apparently Python Win32 is expecting dll files 
produced by Visual C.

Cygwin .a files etc. are not supported.

I'll try a little bit more and see if I can figure out what to do.

Supposedly dlltool can help out. Included in cygwin, and described at

http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/docs-2.12/binutils.info/dlltool.html
