MySQL for Python编译器MinGW32 gcc.exe错误：找不到CreateProcess文件或目录

Question

I'm trying to get Django/Python to work with MySQL, so I'm installing Mysql for Python adapter.

At one point, I discovered that I needed to use the MinGW compiler, so I installed that. I encountered many annoying problems, and I managed to get past them. This one, however, is especially torturing.

The error occurs when I attempt to execute the following command in command line for Windows:
setup.py install build --compiler=mingw32

Here is the error:

> running install<br> running build<br> running build_py<br> copying
> MySQLdb\release.py -> build\lib.win32-2.7\MySQLdb<br> running
> build_ext<br> building '_mysql' extension<br> gcc.exe -mno-cygwin

> **gcc: /Z1: No such file or directory<br> gcc: CreateProcess: No such file or directory<br> error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1**

Can any of you guys help me out?

Answer 1

This error is caused by /Zl parameter, as they are special parameters used only by VC. We could delete them on setup_window.py .

Answer 2

Using compiled binaries for windows machine helps. you can get it here http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/files/mysql-python/1.2.3/

Answer 3

Since you're talking about MinGW, I'm assuming you're building on Windows. You probably need to add the directory where mingw's gcc binary resides to your PATH.

Assuming it's C:\\MinGW32, then you'd do something like:

set PATH=C:\MinGW32\bin;%PATH%

You'd do that before you ran python setup.py install build --compiler=mingw32
