Thanks for your response. I manually edited one of the python files (ccompiler.py I think) to change icc.exe to icl.exe. (This is a trick I used to use to get F2PY to compile on Windows platforms.) Since icl is a drop-in replacement for the visual studio compiler / linker, I'd like to edit the python files configuring this (msvc) but I could not find anything(?) If you could point me towards the config files(s) for the visual studio compiler (I'm assuming are configured for the Windows file extensions already) I could likely make some headway.`
Unfortunately, the code for our building process is difficult to grasp - there is a lof of magic. Everything is in numpy/distutils. Basically, you need to create a new compiler, a bit like intelccompiler.py, but for Windows. I unfortunately can't help you more ATM, since I don't know the intel compiler on Windows. cheers, David
