I'm Edouard TISSERANT, from the wxSVG (www.wxsvg.org) project (svg
renderer for wx with python bindings).
It works smoothly on Linux, and I've tried to port python wrappers to
windows.
It is not possible to link C++ libraries from both VC++ and GCC. In
other words to build C++ extensions for wxPython on windows require
wxPython to be compiled with GCC, not visual studio.
This is the reason why I ported wxPython to mingw32 (using cygwin as a
posix shell).
It is almost working but an important bug remain, and I can't solve it :
It only works in python interactive mode ( python.exe -i ), typing code
line one after the other...

What makes you think that? Have you read the Mingw FAQ on this?

Well after waiting forever for the compiles to finish (now I appreciate the speed of MSVC *much* more than before!) I'm not able to duplicate the crash you are seeing. Does it also crash if you do "python sample.py" instead of using the execfile() from within the interactive interpreter? I'm able to run everything in the demo that I tried, (except for the things that were automatically excluded by configure or build options of course.)
My build is not an exact duplicate of yours. I used the current 2.8 branch from the subversion repository, and I also changed some of your instructions/patches along the way as I integrated them into my sources to be more consistent and easier to coexist with the MSVC build code. But I don't think I changed anything that would have changed a crashing situation into a non-crashing one.
Anyway, I should have all this available in the 2.8.6.1 release in a few days, along with an updated BUILD.txt file. Thanks a lot for your work on this, I was a bit surprised that it required as few changes to config.py as it does, and I was pleased to see that Python 2.5 already includes the libpython25.a file now instead of requiring us to generate it as in earlier versions. Now if it just didn't take 6 times as long (that's not an exaggeration, it's a very conservative guess) to compile wx and wxPython as MSVC does it might actually be worth using it.
