Hello!

I'm trying to bring scipy.weave to work on Windows Vista with MinGw. I use Python 2.7.1, Scipy 0.10.1 and MinGw 4.6.2 My code looks like the following:

from scipy import weave weave.inline("""print('Hello World!');""", [], compiler = 'mingw32-gcc')

I get the following error message:

DistutilsPlatformError: don't know how to compile C/C++ code on platform 'nt' with 'mingw32-gcc' compiler

With MinGw come a lot of different compiler. If I choose not 'mingw32-gcc' but for example 'gcc' weave complains

ValueError: invalid version number '4.'

So I also downloaded the olf MinGW 2.9.5 Version. Then I also get the Error "don't know how to compile C/C++ code on platform 'nt'"

The PATH-Variables are set and I also made shure, that there is write access to the MinGw and Python folders. Searching for this error message gave no progress, but maybe you could help me. Would be great!

All the best Tobi

Try `weave.inline("""printf("Hello World!");""", [], compiler='mingw32')` Worked for me with gcc 4.5.2 on win32-py2.7. The msvc9 compiler also works for 64 bit Python. Christoph
