Hi,

I am new to working on the Windows XP OS and I am having a problem building numpy from source. I am attempting to build using the MinGW compilers on a Windows XP box which has Python 2.4.1 installed. I do not have nor do I intend to use any optimized libraries like ATLAS. I have checked out numpy revision 2542. This is as clean a build as you could probably get. I am attaching my build log to this message. If anyone has any helpful hints they would be most appreciated.

It's a known issue: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/ticket/129 -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
