Hi Robert, I think there is a fixed set of "supported compilers" identified by specific "names"... I think <pythonX>/Lib/distutils/ccompiler.py lists those pre-determined "named compilers". You may need to use "--compiler=msvc" and ensure your compiler of choice is aliased to "msvc" (probably what setuptools is expecting) Hope this helps... unsure tho... /venkat > Robert G.
