Greetings. I had previously succeeded at building matplotlib in Windows XP using Visual Studio 2003. (Thanks to Charlie Moad for much guidance!) I'm now running Win7RC and want to set up builds in that OS for Python 2.5. I read in the messages of May 28 about the release build script at trunk/matplotlib/release/win32 in SVN. So, I'm wondering whether to (a) build as I did previously, with VS2003 or mingw using trunk/matplotlib/setup.py and dependencies in win32_static, or (b) build with mingw using trunk/matplotlib/release/win32/Makefile and dependencies installed there. What approach is recommended currently?
Regarding (a), I saw Charlie's message of Apr. 10 about an updated win32_static.zip file, but requests for http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/win32_static.zip and win32_static_vs.zip yield 404s, while win32_static.tar.gz and win32_static_vs.tar.gz date internally from 2005 and 2006, respectively. Is the newer archive available? Regarding (b), would I still install ActiveTCL to \Tcl and the GTK dev package to \GTK, as in approach (a)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
