Re: [Matplotlib-users] Error build from SVN on Windows XP

I am getting the same error.

Here is my console output:

error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

I found that I do have a vcvarsall.bat file.  it is located here:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat"

I thought this might be a bug in freetype2, so i downloaded the latest
windows version from:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/freetype.htm
with no luck.  setup.py still says it can't verify my freetype2 version.

After grepping through lots of code, I found that vcvarsall.bat is only
listed in these files:

C:\Python26\Lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py
C:\Python26\Lib\distutils\tests\test_msvc9compiler.py
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\numpy\distutils\command\config.py
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\numpy\distutils\fcompiler\compaq.py

And after looking at some code comments, I think this is either a bug in
python 2.6.4, or python 2.6 requires Visual Studio 2008.  I only have Visual
Studio 2005 installed.

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
-Ben
