Hello everyone, I'm trying to get 0.98.5.2 installed on Windows to use Python 2.6 (dependency packages I need to use on that version, long story, etc).
When I was trying to build it (python setup.py build), it was finding the VC 9.0 C++ compiler on my comp. However, after adding necessary packages (zlib, png, etc), it was reporting missing 'unistd.h'. Clearly, this means it was meant to be built with GCC for Windows like MinGW ? I have uninstalled the VC compiler, installed GnuWin32 packages and tried using MinGW (passing --compiler=mingw32 to python setup.py build ) but now compilation process fails like this: c:\MinGW\bin\g++.exe -mno-cygwin -shared -s build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\src\ft2font.o build\temp.wi n32-2.6\Release\src\mplutils.o build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\cxx\cxxsupport.o build\temp.win32-2.6\Re lease\cxx\cxx_extensions.o build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\cxx\indirectpythoninterface.o build\temp.win 32-2.6\Release\cxx\cxxextensions.o build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\src\ft2font.def -LC:\Python26\libs - LC:\Python26\PCbuild -lfreetype -lz -lgw32c -lstdc++ -lm -lpython26 -lmsvcr90 -o build\lib.win32-2.6 \matplotlib\ft2font.pyd c:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lgw32c collect2: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'g++' failed with exit status 1 What the heck is lgw32c??
