Dear all,

 

               I built  an external c-module (pygsl) using mingw 64 from msys2 mingw64-gcc compiler.

 

This  built required  some changes  to numpy.distutils to get the

“python setup.py config”

and

“python setup.py build”

working. In this process  I replaced  2 files in numpy.distutils  from numpy git repository:

-          numpy.dist_utils.misc_utils.py version ec0e046 on 14 Dec 2016

-          numpy.dist_utils. mingw32ccompiler.py version ec0e046 on 14 Dec 2016

 

mingw32ccompiler.py required to be modified to get it work

n  preprocessor  had to be defined  as I am using  setup.py config

n  specifying the runtime library search path to the linker

n  include path  of the vcrtruntime

 

I attached a patch reflecting the changes  I had to make  to file mingw32ccompile.py

If this information is useful I am  happy to answer questions

 

Sincerely yours

               Pierre
