SWIG Python 1.3.1 gdal interface doesn't compile

[dpinte@…]

Hi,

I'm trying to build Python interface on WindowsXP using Cygwin.

Here is the way I did it :

./configure --with-ngpython
make

The first error was when trying to import gdalwarper.h because includes did not
contain the alg directory. Here is the fix (just added alg dir in the include_dirs:

line 93 of swig/python/setup.py :     
include_dirs=[path.join(TOP_DIR,"alg"), path.join(TOP_DIR,"gcore"),
path.join(TOP_DIR,"port"), path.join(TOP_DIR,"ogr"), path.join(TOP_DIR,"pymod"),
] # only necessary

The next error is the following :

make[2]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/Downloads/gdal-1.3.1/swig/python'
python setup.py build

I'm not a linker expert ... how can i solve that ? -lgdal seems to indicate gdal
library but it is currently build no ?
