[matplotlib-devel] build woes with Windows XP, Python 2.2.1, Microsoft .NET 2003 Professional cl.exe

[Andrew S. <as...@ca...>]

I'm having trouble building matplotlib CVS HEAD using Windows XP, and 
Python 2.2.1, Microsoft .NET 2003 Professional cl.exe:

I just checked out numarray CVS Head ('0.9.1', but I'm on the anonymous 
pserver, so there may be a several-day lag), built that, removed the old 
version from C:\Python22, and installed the new verison.

I also have Numeric 21.0 installed from the bdist_wininst installer.

Compiliing matplotlib (fresh from CVS) with either numarray or Numeric 
specified in setup.py, I get:  This seems like a (simple?) C++ issue in 
_transforms.cpp.  I try to avoid C++ myself, so hopefully this error 
report will be enought for someone else to solve it...
