I have only recently joined this list --- hopefully my first mail to this list
is acceptable.
*First*, is it possible to place comments in the distutils.cfg file? If yes,
then how?
*Second*, I have been unable to install yappi (included in the PyPI list) on my
Windows 7 (64-bit) platform with Python 2.7 (32-bit) and would greatly
appreciate help on this installation.
Note, I have installed many other PyPI packages on this same system with no
problems where I have cygwin, minGW (32-bit) and minGW (64-bit) gcc and g++
compilers installed and working properly. I have installed yappi on my Windows
Vista (32-bit) platform with Python 2.7 and there were no problems. I have also
studied the information posted by Greg Ward at
http://docs.python.org/install/index.html.
Here are some of the results of my attempts to install yappi on the Windows 7
system.
I looked at what compilers are available for building from my setup.py
file:
c:\Software\Python\yappi\yappi-0.62>python setup.py build --help-compiler
List of available compilers:
--compiler=bcpp Borland C++ Compiler
--compiler=cygwin Cygwin port of GNU C Compiler for Win32
--compiler=emx EMX port of GNU C Compiler for OS/2
--compiler=mingw32 Mingw32 port of GNU C Compiler for Win32
--compiler=msvc Microsoft Visual C++
--compiler=unix standard UNIX-style compiler
I then tried the following:
c:\Software\Python\yappi\yappi-0.62>python setup.py build --compiler=cygwin
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building '_yappi' extension
gcc -mcygwin -mdll -O -Wall -IC:\Python27\include -IC:\Python27\PC -c
_yappi.c -o build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\_yappi.o
error: command 'gcc' failed: No such file or directory
I then tried to be more specific,
c:\Software\Python\yappi\yappi-0.62>python setup.py build
--compiler=c:\cygwin\bin\gcc.exe
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building '_yappi' extension
error: don't don't know how to compile C/C++ code on platform 'nt' with
'c:\cygwin\bin\gcc.exe' compiler
I also tried many other possible (at least IMHO) solutions --- these also
failed. For example,
c:\Software\Python\yappi\yappi-0.62>python setup.py build --compiler=msvc
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building '_yappi' extension
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
I then modified the c:\python27\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg file and set
different compilers in it --- these also failed.
The bottom line --- all my trials (attempts) failed for one reason or another.
Any suggestions as to how to proceed? I will be glad to provide any additional
information on my trials.
