The compilers that are regularly used to compile python on windows are the mingw compilers. If you only need numpy and not scipy, there are no dependencies, and only the C compiler is needed. It should compile out of the box. Otherwise, you will need to compile your own blas/lapack, which is complicated on windows. The blas/lapack sources are to be downloaded from netlib.org: http://netlib.org/lapack/ You should not use the version 3.2 (3.1.1 is fine, and is the version used to build the numpy binaries). cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
