The biggest problem is that officially, there is still no gcc 4 release for mingw. I saw a gcc 4 section in cygwin, though, so maybe it is about to be released. There is no support at all for 64 bits PE in the 3 serie. I think binutils officially support 64 bits PE (I can build a linux hosted binutils for 64 bits PE with x86_64-pc-mingw32 as a target, and it seems to work: disassembling and co). gcc 4 can work, too (you can build a bootstrap C compiler which targets windows 64 bits IICR). The biggest problem AFAICS is the runtime (mingw64, which is indeed legally murky). > > Ok, that is a concern I usually do not have since I tend to build my own > Python :). I would say that if you can build python by yourself on windows, you can certainly build numpy by yourself :) It took me quite a time to be able to build python on windows by myself from scratch. cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
