Cygwin version: CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 local-PC 1.7.11(0.260/5/3) 2012-02-24 14:05 i686 Cygwin

Python version: Python 2.6.7 (r267:88850, Feb 2 2012, 23:50:20)

While compiling wxPython 2.9.2.4, I get all the way through the first stage of the build, but upon running the

$PYTHON_HOME/python -u ./setup.py build_ext --inplace UNICODE=1 BUILD_BASE=build

I get the following errors complaining that winsock2.h and winsock.h are conflicting with headers in /usr/include/sys

Any idea how to get around these issues? Hacks are welcome as long as the darn thing will build!

Hmm, this was supposed to be fixed by http://trac.wxwidgets.org/changeset/65057
Do you have this revision? If not (or unsure), please retest with 2.9.3.

Yep 2.9.3.x has fixed this particular problem.

Thanks VZ.
