[matplotlib-devel] Current recommended method for Windows builds?
Greetings. I had previously succeeded at building matplotlib in Windows XP using Visual Studio 2003. (Thanks to Charlie Moad for much guidance!) I'm now running Win7RC and want to set up builds in that OS for Python 2.5. I read in the messages of May 28 about the release build script at trunk/matplotlib/release/win32 in SVN. So, I'm wondering whether to (a) build as I did previously, with VS2003 or mingw using trunk/matplotlib/setup.py and dependencies in win32_static, or (b) build with mingw using trunk/matplotlib/release/win32/Makefile and dependencies installed there. What approach is recommended currently? Regarding (a), I saw Charlie's message of Apr. 10 about an updated win32_static.zip file, but requests for http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/win32_static.zip and win32_static_vs.zip yield 404s, while win32_static.tar.gz and win32_static_vs.tar.gz date internally from 2005 and 2006, respectively. Is the newer archive available? Regarding (b), would I still install ActiveTCL to \Tcl and the GTK dev package to \GTK, as in approach (a)? -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I am interested in getting the buildbot infrastructure to build automatic nightly binaries for Windows (XP was my thought, but 7 would also be good). If you you'd be willing to perform the work to automate build and installation from the svn repo on either your own machine or a virtual machine running in my linux box (presuming I could get Windows 7 running in VirtualBox), you could itch your own scratch as well as help the MPL community. The basic idea is that the buildbot triggers a script (or scripts) on the buildslave machine. In particular, I have written test/_buildbot_install.py and test/_buildbot_test.py to sequentially install (to a virtualenv) and test MPL. Right now these are only tested on Ubuntu, but I wrote them to be cross platform. John Hunter wrote test/_buildbot_mac_sage.sh to do the same steps on a Mac, but it's very installation-specific. The buildmaster simply calls these scripts, failing if the exit code is non-zero. It is still on my TODO list to build binaries and upload to a server, but I think this will be pretty trivial once the first part is worked out. Regardless of whether you can help with the buildbot automation part, if you take notes about what you did, I'm sure it will help whomever comes after you in the process. -Andrew -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

So I'm unable to create such a virtual machine. -Andrew -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I'm delaying the patch that shifts Sage's graphics to using the new matplotlib and spines, and I think resolving this issue would probably resolve the remaining big problem (placing axes labels, as mentioned in the thread "setting axis label offset from end of spine").

[matplotlib-devel] [Fwd: Re: [Numpy-discussion] snow leopard issues with numpy]
It looks like we may be on the hook for some c++ ABI breakage with Apple's latest OS (Snow Leopard). See the attached email forwarded from the numpy mailing list. -Andrew --- Begin Message --- On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 1:49 AM, Charles R Harris wrote: > > > On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 10:39 AM, Robert Kern wrote: >> >> On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 11:13, Charles R Harris >> wrote: >> > >> > >> > On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 10:02 AM, Wolfgang Kerzendorf >> > wrote: >> >> >> >> I just installed numpy and scipy (both svn) on OS X 10.6 and just got >> >> scipy to work with Robert Kern's help.

Looks like C++ code, and snow leopard has gcc 4.2, which is likely to have some subtle ABI incompatibilities with 4.0 (the one from leopoard). So yes, a matplotlib rebuild would be the first thing to try. cheers, David ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list numpy-discuss...@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion --- End Message --- -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
