[Numpy-discussion] how to compile numpy with visual-studio-2003?

[mg <mg....@la...>]

Hello,

I just download the newly Python-2.5 and Numpy-1.0rc1 and all work fine 
on Linux-x86 32 and 64bit platforms.
Now, I try to compile the both distributions on WindowsXP with 
VisualStudio2003. No problem to compile Python-2.5, but i have some 
troubles with Numpy-1.0rc1 and I didn't find any help in the provided 
setup.py. So, does someone can tell me how to do it?

Thanks,
Mathieu.

I don't use VisualStudio2003 on Windows to compile NumPy (I use mingw).  
Tim Hochberg once used a microsoft compiler to compile a previous 
version of NumPy and some things had to be fixed to make it work.  I'm 
not sure if some in-compatibilities have crept in since then or not.  
But, I'd sure like to resolve it if they have.

So, please post what problems you are having.  You may be the first 
person to try a microsoft compiler with Python 2.5

It was VS2003 that I used to compile numpy. However, I switched boxes a 
while ago and I haven't got around to trying to compile on the new box, 
I've just been using the released builds. So I'm not much help at the 
moment. Things are clearing up a little bit here, so maybe I can carve 
some time out to get things set up to compile in the next couple days. 
If so I'll let you know what I find.

Unfortunately, no Windows-x86 or Windows-x86-64bit Numpy-1.0rc1 
installer are available on SourceForge yet. So the only current solution 
for us is to compile it.
Moreover, our generic C++ framework is compiled with VisualStudio on 
Windows-native and we compile all additions to it with the same 
compiler, if compilation is needed.
Indeed, we have observed that Visual C++ is still the closest to a 
"default" or "native" compiler for windows platform, like gcc is for 
linux....well at least that's our experience when using other commercial 
(or open-source, think python whose provide visual project files) 
softwares requiring rebuilding/relinking.
Use MinGW for Numpy means risk some un-compatibilities between Numpy and 
our framework (and even Python) or migrate all our development 
environment  from Visual Studio to MinGW. this is not really an option 
for the near or mean furture....
If some of you have good experiences for linking (static or dynamic) 
libraries compiled with mixed compilers (especially mingw and visual), 
knowing that our libraries contains C++, C and fortran code, we could 
consider this as a temprary option for numpy, but for convenience we 
would ultimately prefer to use only 1 compiler to avoid a double 
maintenance of building tools....
Then, I wonder if the compilation of Numpy with Visual-Studio-2003 (or 
2005) is scheduled ?

For your information, this is the standard output and the standard error 
of the compilation of Numpy-1.0rc1 with Visual Studio 2003:

 >>> command line >>>
python setup.py build 1>stdout.txt 2>stderr.txt

FWIW, I just got svn head to compile cleanly against Python *2.4* with 
VS2003. Later today I will try compiling against 2.5

OK. SVN head compiles out of the box and passes all tests for me under 
both Python2.4 and Python2.5.

My stderr output includes all of the same warnings about not being able 
to find ATLAS, BLAS and LAPACK that mg's does, but not "ERROR: Failed to 
test configuration".

The stdout output also looks similar except for the error at the end. (I 
can send you the entire stderr/stdout output privately if you like).

One thing I did notice is that your Python appears to be in a 
nonstandard location: \Program Files\python\dist\src instead of the 
standard \Python25, or at least that's where it's looking for things. 
Perhaps this is confusing either distutils or some of numpy's addons to 
distutils and causing it to misplace python25.lib. At least that's my 
best (and only) guess at the moment.
