Ming seems to be abandoded/unsupported. Use groups.google.com to
find some hints on how to install it. I've done it on linux, but
never tried on windows (why would I?) and replied with some
suggestions last time it came up on c.l.py

I installed MinGW on a Windows XP with no trouble. One needs to install
MSYS, as well as MinGW, since some modules (eg. make) are only available
in MSYS.

Currently, I am trying to build a package from source and have some
unresolved problems. Earlier I had tried to use the Borland
commandline, without success.

MinGW is a minimalistic Gnu for Windows.

Ming is a Flash/swf library.

I never managed to link my python extensions (mingw .a) with python and
broke down and bought Visual/C++ as it is the compiler used by Python.

Yet some people seem to have managed:
