Just a couple of comments/questions regarding Windows, an OS I really do not know well :-)...
1) Why did you need Wine? 2) Why did you use regedit to setup environment variables? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310519 3) Regarding setuptools... Why the exe installers at PyPI are not enough for you? 4) Regarding numpy... Why the exe installers are SourceForge are not enough for you? 2009/6/10 Stéfan van der Walt <[email protected]>: > Hi all, > > Yesterday, I had to build a Cython extension for a colleague using > Windows, so here are the steps required: > > 1.
