I’m trying to build the python-sybase module on Cygwin, but it doesn’t seem to work. It seems to start compiling, then it starts throwing the following errors:

I’ve also tried the mingw32 compiler, but I get this error:

Has anybody been able to successfully compile Python-Sybase on Windows? If I can’t do it in Cygwin, is there an easy way I can I build this (with a free compiler) outside of Cygwin?
As described on the ‘installation‘ page, you should be able to use the free (Microsoft) Visual C++ 2005/2008 Express Edition to build Python-Sybase on Windows.
