[vtkusers] problem with Python wrap build on windows XP

[David Cole]

If you are installing binaries of tcl and python then you will probably have
to use the Microsoft compiler tools. If you can build them from source, you
can try to build tcl and python with the mingw compiler...

All the libraries you need to link into the same program should generally be
produced by the same linker... and the typical tcl and python binary
packages ship with libraries produced by the Microsoft compiler/linker.

You could use Visual C++ Express Edition instead of the mingw compiler.
Or you could try building tcl/python from source with the mingw compiler.


Hope this halps,
David
