i.e. it would be nice if anyone setup to build C extensions could "just build numpy".
This has always been possible, and if not, that's certainly considered as a bug (I would be eager to fix).
I don't know if you saw my comment earlier in this thread:
A quick test later: No BLAS/ATLAS/LAPACK causes a string of warnings, And ignoring the rest of the error stack (which I'm frankly not interested in investing the time to diagnose and fix) I get "RuntimeError: Broken toolchain: cannot link a simple C program". Which is utter rubbish - I routinely build extensions with this installation.
This is a straight "pip install numpy" run in a virtualenv on Windows 7 64-bit with MSVC 2010 (full edition) installed.
which version of python ? For 2.x, it is expected to fail at that point, since you can't build C extensions with something different than 2008 (with python.org builds). For 3.3, it means there is a bug that needs to be fixed. David
