How to install pysctp on windows 7 about pysctp

Hi,

After going through suggestions posted in various pages I have installed cygwin containing gcc,gdb,make & mingw. After that I tried the following options:

D:\userdata\rkommine\Desktop\pysctp-0.6>python setup.py install build --compiler=cygwin
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building '_sctp' extension
C:\cygwin\bin\gcc.exe -mcygwin -mdll -O -Wall -I. -I/usr/include -IC:\Python27\include -IC:\Python27\PC -c _sctp.c -o build\temp.wi
32-2.7\Release_sctp.o
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mcygwin'
error: command 'C:\cygwin\bin\gcc.exe' failed with exit status 1

D:\userdata\rkommine\Desktop\pysctp-0.6>python setup.py install build --compiler=mingw32
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building '_sctp' extension
C:\cygwin\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall -I. -I/usr/include -IC:\Python27\include -IC:\Python27\PC -c _sctp.c -o build\temp
win32-2.7\Release_sctp.o
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mno-cygwin'
error: command 'C:\cygwin\bin\gcc.exe' failed with exit status 1

Could anyone please help on this installation issue.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Just for reference: you can fix the issue you're having by going to your Python installation (C:\Python27 for example)\Libs\distutils and open up cygwinccompiler.py and remove all occurences of -mcygwin, but it still will not help. It will say something about not being able to include net/sctp.h, and you can't really fix that:

pysctp wraps the Linux kernel SCTP socket, but Windows has no SCTP implementation matching the Linux kernel API. For this reason, pysctp won't work on Windows.
