The installer is built with this VM/scripts:
https://github.com/certik/numpy-vendor
currently the VM itself is 32 bit. I think that might be upgraded to 64bit, and maybe it's possible to use 64 bit Wine:
but then we would need to figure out how to use Mingw with 64 bits.
I would be very happy to accept patches to the above repository.
Alternatively, if the actual Windows 64bit machine would have to be used, is there any way to automate the process? Would you compile it from command line (cmd.exe), just like I do in Wine? I would much prefer if we can figure out how to do this in Wine, so that the process can be automated and other people can easily reproduce it.
I wonder whether getting ming64 to work on 64 bit Wine is too hard to get working before the release? I often can't get 32-bit Wine working, and we've apparently got problems with mingw64 on native windows.
As a short term fix, how about an Amazon image with the Windows 64 bit compilers on it?
-1 on providing an "official" solution which will require admin rights for the produced installer and not work for scipy.
Sorry if I am being slow, but I don't follow.
Am I right in thinking that we can currently build numpy 64 bit installers with the Microsoft tools, and that these would be distributable without admin rights for windows >=XP ?
MSVC + Intel Fortran + MKL, yes. But those aren't free. So how can you provide an Amazon image for those?
You can make an image that is not public, I guess. I suppose anyone who uses the image would have to have their own licenses for the Intel stuff? Does anyone have experience of this? Does ATLAS / openBLAS not build for windows? Sorry for my ignorance. Cheers, Matthew
