为Windows 7编译ip2location python扩展

我想编译/安装ip2location python扩展,可在这里找到:

网址:www.ip2location.com/python.aspx

我在这些网站上尝试遵循说明:

eli.thegreenplace.net/2008/06/28/compiling-python-extensions-with-distuils-and-mingw/ boodeb.org/main/python/build-windows-扩展

但我在哪儿也找不到。问题是python扩展依赖于另一个C库:

网址:www.ip2location.com/c.aspx

当我尝试在cygwin中编译这个库时,我得到了以下输出:

make  all-recursive

我在Windows7 32位上运行python 2.6.3。 我有MS Visual Studio 2008(尽管不知道如何使用它),当然还有Cygwin/Mingw。

任何帮助或指点都将非常感谢。
