[matplotlib-devel] Compiling on Windows

[Gary P. <pa...@in...>]

I've been using the cvs version on Mandrake, but I'll need to be working in
WinXP and using the "embedded TkAgg" facility.  I looked into compiling on
WinXP, but that looks like something I'd like to avoid.

Is it too much to ask for an upgrade to the Windows installer?
Alternatively, tell me that compiling is not as bad as it looks, and that it
actually goes rather smoothly.

Thanks,
Gary

setupext.py points you to
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/win32_static.tar.gz which is
required.  There is a README in that dir that contains detailed build
instructions.

If this proves too much of a pain, I'm sure Todd or I could provide a
build for you in the not-too-distant future.

Paul, do you have an estimate on when the remaining font issues (eg
the font size setting problem) will be cleared up?  I think we're due
for the 0.53 release.

Yes, I've seen the pointer along with the word "masochist", and the
instructions.
If 0.53 is coming in a few weeks, I'll wait.  I have enough to do fixing OSX
X11.
