Dear all,
I'd like to try an experiment with the windows build of the new RDKit patch
release (2016.09.4): instead of using the (ancient) recommended compiler for
the conda build, I have done a build using the most recent version of visual
studio (VS2015). It would make life significantly easier if we could use this
as the standard solution for doing windows builds. I've tested on both Windows
10 and Windows 7, but before I put it on the normal conda site, I'll like to be
sure that it works for others too.
If you're a conda user and are willing to help out, please try creating a new
conda environment with python 2.7 and installing the rdkit like this: "conda
install -c greglandrum rdkit". If conda has problems finding boost, you may
need to: "conda install -c rdkit boost" first.
If you do give it a try, please let me know, whether it works or not.
One thing to try if you do encounter problems, please try installing the VS2015
redistributable DLLs from Microsoft:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 (these are
normal DLLs, nothing odd).
Thanks, in advance, for any feedback!-greg
