Hi All,
Numpy 1.8 is about ready for an rc1, which brings up the question of which binary builds so put up on sourceforge. For Windows maybe
32 bit windows, python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, compiled with MSVC 64 bit windows, python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, compiled with MSVC, linked with MKL
Are we not running into problems with scipy? scipy would need to use the same libraries, AFAIU (given Fortran and maybe C compatibilities)
Indeed. If numpy goes MSVC + MKL, then scipy should go the same way. Some other options to go to MinGW 4.x are being discussed on https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/2829.

I think these should be good for both windows 7 and window 8, correct me
I am wrong. For Mac there is first the question of OS X versions, (10.5?), 10.6, 10.7, 10.8. I don't know if some builds work on more than one OS X version. The 10.5 version is a bit harder to come by than 10.6 and up. It looks like 10.9 is coming up, but it isn't out yet. I have no idea what Python version to match up these, but assuming all of them, then
OS X 10.6 python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, compiled with native compiler,
with Accelerate. OS X 10.7 python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, compiled with native compiler,
with Accelerate. OS X 10.8 python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, compiled with native compiler,
if linked linked linked
with Accelerate.
That seems like a lot. It is fairly easy to compile from source on the mac these days, are all those binary packages really needed?
That's not exactly the right list - the same installers built on 10.6 also work on 10.7 and 10.8.
I don't know what I am doing with the binary stuff, so any suggestions
are
welcome.
For building it is possible to set up a Macintosh with vmware fusion to handle all of these, but there is time and money involved in that. Any one who is already capable of doing some of these builds is welcome to volunteer.
I can do the OS X builds if needed. Let's focus on the Windows builds first, those are much more of a problem. Ralf
under the NumFocus umbrella, but I don't know of anyone who has taken advantage of that yet or how much time it will take to go through the undoubtedly needed paper work, but I would like to get some of those licenses and move to MSVC so that we can stop rolling around gasping in
Note, Intel has offered MKL licenses to the open source projects pain
whenever it comes to window builds. Then there is Fortran for windows...
Thoughts?
