Yeah, from scipy.org. > Do you have to use VS 2008 ? Building python on windows is not easy > because of the dependencies, this alone requires quite a bit of > effort. Do you already have your built python ? Yes, I have to use VS 2008. I've successfully built Python 2.5.1 with VS 2008 and I'm currently using it to build other neccessary site-packages for it. > On windows, if you only build numpy, you only need a C compiler, so in > theory, python setup.py build, with an empty site.cfg, should work. > But VS 2008 is significantly different from VS 2003, which is the most > often used MS compiler to build numpy (on windows, many people use > mingw; the official binaries are built with mingw; but there are > problems between mingw and VS 2008....). > > I would try that first (an empty site.cfg build). I will try it tomorrow at work. I would use mingw or even cygwin but unfortunately I have to use exactly VS 2008 and only it. > I am surprised: why you do you have Program File (x86) if you run on > 32 bits ? I thought the directory only appeared on windows 64 bits, to > hold the 32 bits programs ? Sorry for this misapprehension! I meant to say that I'm building 32-bit numpy for 32-bit Python. The machine I'm using to build it is 64-bit Windows which has both 32-bit and 64-bit compilers and libraries installed. For now I'm doing only 32-bit builds. Tomorrow I will try to build numpy with empty site.cfg and post results here.
