Hello - I'm trying to install PIL in cygwin under windows vista. I'm running the latest cygwin-setup-installed python 2.5. I've tried two ways:
a) Grab the install files manually, unzip and untar them, and run "python setup.py install" from the resulting folder. b) Just run "easy_install -f http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil Imaging". With method a), here's the output I get before it hangs indefinitely: running install running build running build_py running build_ext building '_imaging' extension gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DHAVE_LIBZ -IlibImaging -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/python2.5 -c encode.c -o build/temp.cygwin-1.5.24-i686-2.5/encode.o gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DHAVE_LIBZ -IlibImaging -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/python2.5 -c map.c -o build/temp.cygwin-1.5.24-i686-2.5/map.o With method b), it writes out a temporary .s file, and then just hangs. Anyone else see this? Any ideas how it get past this and get a good install of PIL under cygwin? Note that the PIL windows installer works just fine on the same machine, and I can use the Image module when using the windows-installed python. thanks in advance, Mark -- Mark Wendell _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
