Running the command:

C:\dev\src\numpy>python setup.py build -c mingw32 bdist_wininst > build.txt

still gives me the error:

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 tried without a distutils.cfg file and deleted the build directory both times.

In case it helps the bulid log should be available from

Am I doing something wrong?
