Python not loading in Windows QGIS (build from source)

Description

For Windows platform, when I build from source the file libqgispython.dll is not loaded by QGIS, therefore there is no Python support.

I have found in src/app/qgisapp.cpp in line 3820 (file is r9003)

QString pythonlibName("qgispython");

If I make the string "libqgispython" then the .dll is loaded and Python support is available.

With Linux the name doesn't seem to matter.

So, for Windows the name should be "libqgispython" or the file should be built as qgispython.dll

I am reopening this ticket because 4040ddd6 (SVN r9031) builds the dll as liblibqgispython.dll, which won't be loaded unless it is renamed to qgispython.dll.

I neglected to mention that it was MinGW that I was building with, but you picked up on it. Thanks.

I believe the the file should be referenced from qgisapp.cpp by the name "libqgispython" rather than "qgispython". This is what I have been doing when I build for Windows and Mandriva Linux.

I don't have have any experience with MSVC building or Macs, so I'm not sure whether the name of the library and how it is referenced has any problems if the name is libqgispython in those situations.
