[Numpy-discussion] Call for testing: full blas/lapack builds of numpy on windows 64 bits

[David Cournapeau]

Hi,

    That's a call for testing for 64 bits windows users out there:
please try the following binary with the test suite:

http://www.ar.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/members/david/archives/numpy/numpy-1.3.0.dev6517.win-amd64-py2.6.exe

python -c "import numpy; numpy.test()"

Report any crash. I am particularly interested in vista and higher
versions without visual studio installed - it looks like those cause a
lot of trouble wrt the C runtime. *THIS IS ONLY FOR TESTING* - it is
still far from being stable.

Details:

This one is built with free compilers (gcc + gfortran 4.4), and
BLAS/LAPACK built with gfortran. This should enable openmp usage too
(4.4 supports openmp3.0). It also means supporting scipy is not too far
away - there are still some issues with C++, but hopefully, those are
compiler bugs, and all numpy issues will have been sorted out.

cheers,

David
