I am still trying to build matplotlib on windows. The instructions on 1717
were very helpful, I managed to build the
prerequisites manually based on the instructions in the dep_build.cmd that
came from matplotlib-winbuild project.
But when I try to run it I get this error message:
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import matplotlib._png as _png
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I am guessing it doesn't like the filename of the png16.dll file, but how
do I know what filename it is looking for?
I noticed I had to rename a bunch of .lib files in order to build
matplotlib from source, but that was OK since the error message
said what file it was looking for. How do I determine the correct filename
to use from here?
