PY_LONG_LONG problem

[Alex Hunsley]

I've compiling boodler (http://www.eblong.com/zarf/boodler/), which is written
(mostly) in python, for windows, using Python 2.3.

When at the stage of compiling some C code, I'm running into problems:

$ make
make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/tools/boodler/cboodle'
gcc -O2 -I/usr/include/python2.3 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototype
s -Wno-unused -c -o cboodle.o cboodle.c
In file included from C:/Python23/include/Python.h:75,
from cboodle.c:15:
C:/Python23/include/intobject.h:41: error: syntax error before "PyInt_AsUnsign ed
LongLongMask"
[snip a few more errors]

The problem is that the compiler is falling over whenever PY_LONG_LONG is
mentioned. The first example, from intobject.h as reported above, is this:

#ifdef HAVE_LONG_LONG
PyAPI_FUNC(unsi gned PY_LONG_LONG) PyInt_AsUnsigne dLongLongMask(P yObject *);
^^^^^^^^^^^^



then, following things along, I see that in pyport.h we have:

#ifndef PY_LONG_LONG
#define PY_LONG_LONG long long

so, is it "long long" that is actually causing the problems here?

I've never compiled C that uses python includes before, so I'm a bit stumped.

thanks

Btw, this is being done under cygwin...
