  Hi, John, etc.  I checked-out current revision (8396 I believe), tried
 to
  build using python setup.py build, got error: Unable to find
 vcvarsall.bat.
  Googled, determined that it was something I'm supposed to get w/ a VC
  runtime, so grabbed the most recent version (VC2010 or some such),
  installed, determined that I now have a vcvarsall.bat and added it's
  location to my path, but am still getting the error.  Any ideas?
  Windows 7 home prem. 64 bit.  Python 2.6.  Thanks!

  Oh, and the error happens after building 'matplotlib.ft2font' extension.
  Thanks again,

 Perhaps Christoph, who builds the win32 binaries, can let you know
 what he does.  It's never as simple a python setup.py install, though.
  You may want to look in the release/win32 directory at the README.txt
 and Makefile.


That's for building Win32 binaries using Mingw.

 You need Visual Studio 2008 (MSVC9) to compile extensions for Python =2.6
 on Windows. python setup.py build works once you have built the
 prerequisites. See 
 http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html.  I link against
 the static libraries of libpng, zlib, and freetype,


I don't already have those - where do I get them, please?

Thanks!

 compiled with the /MD switch. You may have to adjust your %LIB% and
 %INCLUDE% environment variables and rename the lib files in order to be
 found by the matplotlib build system.

 %INCLUDE% environment variables and rename the lib files in order to
 be found by the matplotlib build system.


The instructions on that page (reasonably) assume that the developer has 
a working Python build system and knows how to build the required 3rd 
party libraries. This is not matplotlib specific information and is 
better described in the documentation for Python and the libraries.

http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html
http://freetype.sourceforge.net/
http://www.zlib.net/

It is best to build those libraries yourself, with exactly the same 
compiler and runtime that was used to build Python. Anything else is 
prone to crash.

 Hi, John, etc.  I checked-out current revision (8396 I believe), tried to
 build using python setup.py build, got error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat.
 Googled, determined that it was something I'm supposed to get w/ a VC
 runtime, so grabbed the most recent version (VC2010 or some such),
 installed, determined that I now have a vcvarsall.bat and added it's
 location to my path, but am still getting the error.  Any ideas?
 Windows 7 home prem. 64 bit.  Python 2.6.  Thanks!

 Oh, and the error happens after building 'matplotlib.ft2font' extension.
 Thanks again,

 Perhaps Christoph, who builds the win32 binaries, can let you know
 what he does.  It's never as simple a python setup.py install, though.
   You may want to look in the release/win32 directory at the README.txt
 and Makefile.


You need Visual Studio 2008 (MSVC9) to compile extensions for Python 
 =2.6 on Windows. python setup.py build works once you have built the 
prerequisites. See 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html.  I link 
against the static libraries of libpng, zlib, and freetype, compiled 
with the /MD switch. You may have to adjust your %LIB% and %INCLUDE% 
environment variables and rename the lib files in order to be found by 
the matplotlib build system.
