Yes, 1.0.2 is the version we are using on Linux so I went with that one. I will try newer version. > The error you are seeing may indicate that it is not possible to build > python 2.5 extensions with VS 2008 with distutils (the message says > distutils did not detect VS 2008 installation, and that may well be > caused by distutils not knowing how to deal with VS 2008). The same error was when I was building PIL library, so I had to apply small patch to msvccompiler.py file in Python's distutils and export DISTUTILS_USE_SDK and MSSDK env variables to override builtin settings which were always looking for VS 2003 compiler, then the build process went without a problem. I followed the instructions described here http://jeethurao.com/blog/?p=35. > How did you build python with VS 2008 ? With VS 2008. I opened Python-2.5.1\PCbuild8\pcbuild.sln file with Visual Studio, included project files for tkinter, ssl, bddsb, etc... and everything was built without problems. I have the full Python 2.5.1 distribution build, identical as the Python-2.5.1.msi installation from python.org. > P.S: Not to discourage you, but it will certainly be painful to build > numpy with VS 2008 and python 2.5, because 2.5 distutils does not really > handle VS 2008, and we use distutils for the build, and also because > AFAIK, numpy has never been built with VS 2008 yet (2.6 will support VS > 2008, so that's something which will be fixed sooner rather than later, > assuming numpy C code cannot be compiler with VS 2008 now). Thanks for the info. It would certanly be bad news for me if numpy really can't be build with VS 2008. I will try with numpy 1.1.1 and see what happens. -- Best regards, Miroslav _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
