Hi, did somebody suceeded to compile/install numpy-1.0.3 from the sources under WindowsXP with Visual Studio 2005? Shortly after issuing the > python setup.py build command, the build breaks with a strange error and even stranger recommendation: > ............................. > building extension "numpy.core.multiarray" sources > Generating build\src.win32-2.5\numpy\core\config.h > No module named msvccompiler in numpy.distutils, trying from distutils.. > error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003; > extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries. > Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed, > you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py. > I successfully built and used Python-2.5, Qt-4.3.0, sip-4.5.2 and PyQwt-5.0.0 from the very same environment ( WindowsXP, nmake from VS-2005, Platform SDK, etc.). Everything is built with the very same binaries and tools behind, why would numpy-1.0.3's setup.py beleave that I had or ever used VS-2003? > extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries. I don't really understand this neither, compattible to whom or what? Please help me. Best Regards, Csaba F. Kiss - csaba.kiss@scienomics.com
