I agree -- adding them to the binary package is the way to go here -- it's packaging issue, not a development or building issue. I can't imagine it would be hard to write a little script that includes them all in one mpkg. > Right -- and we're not using pip (because we can't) to handle our C/C++ > dependencies, many of which we continue to ship with matplotlib. Should the code that's shipped with MPL be build-able with PIP? But the harder issue is third-party dependencies that we expect the system to provide: libpng, libfreetype, .... On the building side, I'd really like to see more support for this -- the Linux package managers handle it OK on LInux, but there is no good system for Windows or OS-X. I'm taking a look at gattai: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gattai/ Mostly for the Mac, but it does support Windows and linux as well. I'm not looking at Windows right now, as Christoph's repository gives me all I need -- which makes me think: Christoph, do you have a build system for all those that might be a good basis for a multi-platform solution? -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost.
