Re: [Matplotlib-users] error on build on windows from SVN
You didn't mention which compiler you were trying to use. It looks like it can't find the Microsoft compiler. If you have it installed, perhaps it's installed in a non-standard location...? It should be theoretically possible to use the free Microsoft compiler, but I have no experience with that. I have used the Mingw32 compiler included with Cygwin to build matplotlib recently with success. There is also a version of Mingw32 that is not part of Cygwin. To use one of these compilers, you need to explicitly tell distutils (the system used to build matplotlib) to use it, using -c mingw32.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] error on build on windows from SVN
The error message states that you must be using VS2003. Python is compiled with this, so all extensions must also be compiled with it. If you don't have a copy of VS2003 your best bet is to just use cygwin/mingw. - Charlie On 9/25/07, Michael Droettboom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You didn't mention which compiler you were trying to use.

[Matplotlib-users] error on build on windows from SVN
I'm having problems building matplotlib on windows from a folder from SVN, and haven't done it before (previously had used the prebuilt binary download). I don't know what I am doing wrong. I'm on winXP, Python 2.5. and will be using wxPython 2.8.4.2 with matplotlib as well. The folder with the contents from SVN I've named matplotlib_svn. From the cmd line and while in that directory I wrote python setup.py build and got what follows. I'm not sure what I am to do (regarding finding an appropriate compiler). Any help is appreciated.
