Hi Andrew,

When building on Windows, you should make sure you have the HDF4 and
HDFEOS2 libraries installed. Right now the paths to the libraries are
hard-coded in setup.py to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\HDF_Group\HDF\4.2.9
C:\Program Files (x86)\hdfeos2.18

If you use different versions, just update the paths in setup.py. I
think you need the "static" win32 version of HDF4.

The windows build on the ccplot.org website was made with Visual C++
2008 Express Edition. If I remember right, it was because python2.7
itself is compiled with this version of VS, so it was necessary.

ccplot can be built with the command:

python setup.py bdist_wininst

If everything goes well, it produces the installer executable in dist.

If it doesn't work for you, please let me know, I have to try myself, as
it has been a long time since I was making the build.

Good luck!

Peter
