Hello everyone, I'm trying to get 0.98.5.2 installed on Windows to use Python 2.6 (dependency packages I need to use on that version, long story, etc). When I was trying to build it (python setup.py build), it was finding the VC 9.0 C++ compiler on my comp. However, after adding necessary packages (zlib, png, etc), it was reporting missing 'unistd.h'. Clearly, this means it was meant to be built with GCC for Windows like MinGW ? I have uninstalled the VC compiler, installed GnuWin32 packages and tried using MinGW (passing --compiler=mingw32 to python setup.py build ) but now compilation process fails like this: c:\MinGW\bin\g++.exe -mno-cygwin -shared -s build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\src\ft2font.o build\temp.wi n32-2.6\Release\src\mplutils.o build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\cxx\cxxsupport.o build\temp.win32-2.6\Re lease\cxx\cxx_extensions.o build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\cxx\indirectpythoninterface.o build\temp.win 32-2.6\Release\cxx\cxxextensions.o build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\src\ft2font.def -LC:\Python26\libs - LC:\Python26\PCbuild -lfreetype -lz -lgw32c -lstdc++ -lm -lpython26 -lmsvcr90 -o build\lib.win32-2.6 \matplotlib\ft2font.pyd c:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lgw32c collect2: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'g++' failed with exit status 1 What the heck is lgw32c??

Greetings, Did you download the win32_static folder and place it in the top level of the matplotlic source? I had similar problems building on my windows machine until I did this and now it works fine. You might also check all the README documents, as one of them gives you more information about building for windows. -Patrick On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 8:17 AM, Marcin Krol <mr...@gm...> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I'm trying to get 0.98.5.2 installed on Windows to use Python 2.6 > (dependency packages I need to use on that version, long story, etc). > > When I was trying to build it (python setup.py build), it was finding > the VC 9.0 C++ compiler on my comp.

I followed the instructions from README in win32_static precisely. This
created file libpython26.a fine, etc. The build and installation process
finished fine.
However, when I try to do now
>>> import matplotlib
>>> from pylab import *
I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
from pylab import *
File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\pylab.py", line 1, in <module>

from matplotlib import mpl # pulls in most modules

from transforms import Bbox, IdentityTransform, TransformedBbox,
TransformedPath
File "c:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\transforms.py", line
34, in <module>
from matplotlib._path import affine_transform
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

Hi Marcin, I didn't catch on the first email you were trying to build for python2.6. I haven't been able to get matplotlib to build correctly with python2.6. I'm actually curious as to how you were able to build matplotlib using the win32_static folder since it doesn't contain the libs and header files for tcl/tk 8.5 which python2.6 is build against. This was the original error for me and I had to modify the setupext.py to look for the tcl/tk 8.5 includes (which I had to manually add to win32_static). What happens if you try: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = range(0,100) y = range(0,100) plt.plot(x,y) plt.show() As for the error you specifically mentioned, have you checked to make sure that the correct dll exists? This error typically happens to me when the dll didn't build properly (if at all). -- Patrick Marsh Graduate Research Assistant School of Meteorology University of Oklahoma http://www.patricktmarsh.com |

I didn't do anything really, except I have had installed Python 2.5 on the same system before. Maybe this left DLLs lying around and the compiled matplotlib uses those old DLLs? > This was the original error for me and I had to modify the > setupext.py to look for the tcl/tk 8.5 includes (which I had to > manually add to win32_static).

I have unpacked matplotlib-0.98.5.2.win32-py2.6.exe installer and it doesn't contain any dll either. Regards, mk |

It might help if you recursively remove the buld directory, do a clean rebuld, capture the build output in a file, and post that here so we can see if we can get an idea what is going on |

I don't know a ton about windows and even less about visual studio, but according to the build output you posted a _path.pyd file is built and apparently installed. It may be that it is trying to linking against some dll that is not on your system. There is a windows freeware program I used to use to debug this stuff, in which you could load the pyd file and see what it links against, which reported failures. Perhaps a windows guru can advise here. In the past, there was a bug in distutils that was forcing the compiler to link against msvcp71.dll which could be fixed by patching distutils. Don't know if this is related |

I figured out why your show() works...you had WxPython installed and I'm assuming your backend was defaulting to this since Tkinter wasn't found. Once I noticed that I installed WxPython and then re-buily matplotlib with WxPython. If I used wxpython as my backend, then my GUIs worked. I can import pylab just fine and I don't appear to have any errors. While I can't figure out what your problem is, you are free to try the binary I built and see if it works: http://code.patricktmarsh.com/matplotlib-0.98.6svn.win32-py2.6.exe If you do decide to try this, let me know if it works. -Patrick On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 9:22 AM, Marcin Krol <mr...@gm...> wrote: > John Hunter wrote: > >> First of all, on the clean build, when you do >> >> import matplotlib._path >> >> do you still get the same error. > > No, it's working fine on the new build (the import above and the whole > installation0 -- once I switched to VC++ from MinGW. > > <snip info, ack> > > Regards, > mk > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > This SF.net email is sponsored by: > SourcForge Community > SourceForge wants to tell your story. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword > _______________________________________________ > Matplotlib-users mailing list > Mat...@li... > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users > -- Patrick Marsh Graduate Research Assistant School of Meteorology University of Oklahoma http://www.patricktmarsh.com |
