<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> did somebody suceeded to
compile/install numpy-1.0.3 from the sources under WindowsXP with Visual Studio
2005?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Shortly after issuing the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> > python setup.py
build</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>command, the build breaks with a strange error and
even stranger recommendation:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I successfully built and used
Python-2.5, Qt-4.3.0, sip-4.5.2 and PyQwt-5.0.0 from the very same
environment ( WindowsXP, nmake from VS-2005, Platform SDK, etc.). Everything is
built with the very same binaries and tools behind, why would numpy-1.0.3's
setup.py beleave that I had or ever used VS-2003?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> > extensions must be built
with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries.<BR> I
don't really understand this neither, compattible to whom or what?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Please help me.</FONT></DIV>
