I understand you don't want to patch the sources. The above fix is in the trunk, though - and I don't feel like backporting those fixes in the 1.2.x branch, because it would be a lot of work. > Instead I have a custom > libmsvcr90.a that has stub functions for the various time functions.

This is a totally independent issue of the _ftime thing, and AFAIK, there is no way around it - except installing msvcrt90.dll in system32 yourself, which is obviously a very bad idea. Patching mingw is necessary for 64 bits support, since their headers are missing some math functions - no patch is needed for 32 bits. cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
