Unable to Compile Demo

[dhollowe]

I am attempting to call some CPP code from Python2.7. There is an example of this located inside the Python directory (C:\Python27\Demo\embed). When I attempt to use the makefile (using Cygwin) in that folder I am unable to build. I have not modified the makefile yet and unsure what to edit if I am using gcc as my compiler and dont know if I should change the blddir.

Here are the errors I am getting:

../../Include/pyport.h:886:2: error: #error "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc config?)."
#error "LONG_BIT definition appears wrong for platform (bad gcc/glibc config?)."

Please let me know if you have any advice for me!
