Hi Mark,

the other error might be related to the (quite probable) possibility, that the python coming from your Python(x,y) installation was compiled with another compiler than mingw32. Is your computer/OS/Python(x,y) 32 or 64bit?

BTW. do you have the same problems also with anaconda?

Hi Robert,

puh it's not only on me :D I could get arround it doing this:

1. I installed mingw32 to C:\programs\mingw\
2. Add mingw32's bin directory to your environment variable: append
c:\programs\MinGW\bin; to the *PATH*
3.

Edit (create if not existing) *distutils.cfg* file located at
C:\Python26\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg to be:

[build]
compiler=mingw32

However, I ran into the next error (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sfepy-devel/FxGiGJSxWtU) I couldn't solve till now.

Maybe you/anybody has an idea? I think I will give sfepy another shot on Linux... :P

Best, Mark

Hi Mark,

yes this error is annoying, and I am not aware of a solution that actually works for sfepy (failed myself to install sfepy in a W10 virtual box). I assume you tried the solutions proposed for example in [1, 2, 3]? I do not think that I have tried everything, so in case there is something you did not try, could you give it a shot?

Hi everyone,

I try to install sfepy for window10 following the instruction with python(xy). I can accomplish everything till I need to compile sfepy. The I get the error:Unable to find vcvarsall.bat. I installed the MS C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 but its not working. I also tried other C++ compiler... but still this error drives me crazy. How can I fix this? Please help :\

IMHO we should look at how numpy gets the extensions compiled - the build system of sfepy is based on numpy distutils, and has not been updated a long time (as it worked OK everywhere). Maybe something has changed. I will look at it as time permits.

FYI: I have added [1], so possible new findings can be posted there.

Hi Robert,

I tried both compiler and simply replaced 32 with 64, but maybe this is the too simple and wrong way? Sorry I'm a total noob with this :D
