Hello,

I'm trying to compile numpy on Windows 7 using the command: "python setup.py config --compiler=mingw32 build" but I get an error about a symbol table not found. Anyone know how to work around this or what to look into?

Did you find a workaround? I am having exactly the same problem.

So this happens both in Windows and in Wine and the problem is that the numpy distutils is trying to read the symbol table using "objdump" from msvcr90.dll but it can't recognize the format:

objdump.exe: C:\windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4148_none_deadbeef\msvcr90.dll: File format not recognized

The file exists:

$ file ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/winsxs/x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4148_none_deadbeef/msvcr90.dll /home/ondrej/.wine/drive_c/windows/winsxs/x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4148_none_deadbeef/msvcr90.dll: PE32 executable for MS Windows (DLL) (unknown subsystem) Intel 80386 32-bit

But objdump doesn't work on it.

So the following patch fixes it: diff --git a/numpy/distutils/mingw32ccompiler.py b/numpy/distutils/mingw32ccompi index 5b9aa33..72ff5ed 100644 --- a/numpy/distutils/mingw32ccompiler.py +++ b/numpy/distutils/mingw32ccompiler.py @@ -91,11 +91,11 @@ class Mingw32CCompiler(distutils.cygwinccompiler.CygwinCComp build_import_library() # Check for custom msvc runtime library on Windows.

Because the import library did not exist in older mingw versions, we had to build it IIRC. The fact that objdump does not recognize the dll format is strange. David
