[Plplot-devel] Windows+python (was Re: Windows+java)
Hi,
I also managed to make python bindings work on windows, at least for the
MinGW compiler. How did I get there:
* Download and install Python 2.4.4 ! (not 2.5) from
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.4/python-2.4.4.msi
* Download and install the old Numeric package
Numeric-24.2.win32-py2.4.exe from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&package_id=1351
The numeric package is not available for 2.5
* Than, as usual we need to set some variables:
set PYTHONDIR=C:\DevZone\Python24
set PATH=%PYTHONDIR%;%PATH%
set
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=%PYTHONDIR%\Lib\site-packages\Numeric\Numeric_headers\Numeric
* Cmake should than find everything and turn python bindings on, if SWIG
is installed and set up correctly.
* Don't forget to have -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON and -DBUILD_TEST=ON
* compile with mingw32-make
* cd examples\python
* if you run "python pythondemos.py" we get an error message
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pythondemos.py", line 28, in ?
from plplot import *
File "C:/DevZone/plplot/bindings/python\plplot.py", line 20, in ?
from plplotc import *
File "C:/DevZone/plplot/buildmingw/bindings/python\plplotc.py", line
5, in ?
import _plplotc
ImportError: No module named _plplotc
* If I copy the dll _plplotcmodule.dll from bindings/python I get the
same error message. After I rename this dll to _plplotc.dll I get
further and also need to copy other dlls (plplot.dll, etc.) and font
files: "python pythondemos.py" works.
* So this is also a quite success here, though why is this dll called
_plplotcmodule.dll and not _plplotc.dll as python wants it to be called?
Has someone some ideas?
On MSVC/nmake it's the same procedure, but we get soon into trouble:
Linking C shared module _plplotcmodule.dll
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python24_d.lib'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\BIN\link.EXE"' : return code '0x450'
Stop.
I searched the whole plplot tree where we would set python24_d.lib, but
I couldn't find anything like that. Cmake looks for this library but
can't find it and sets the variables accordingly. And the makefiles for
nmake are only temporary, so I can't check them :(. No idea, where the
problem is here. Any ideas?
Anyway, python is also "working" here in Windows.
Regards,
Werner
PS: Thanks for the hint with the Numeric library.

However, the CMake version check does not seem to be working on OS-X as I did not get any error messages when I tried to use CMake 2.4.3. -Hazen - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

We set PYTHON_LIBRARIES in cmake/modules/python.cmake, and I am virtually positive that is how python24_d.lib is found. If cmake did not find a python library, then it would have disabled python completely. To build the two python interfaces on windows you need to link to PYTHON_LIBRARIES. (See /bindings/python/CMakeLists.txt.) So I suspect the real question is why python24_d.lib is not accessible to the linker on bare windows even though cmake found it. Hope that background information helps, and thanks very much for your continued windows/python efforts. Alan __ Alan W.
