I need to build Imaging-1.1.6 on Windows. I've downloaded what I thought were the right packages from GnuWin32: freetype-2.3.5-bin freetype-2.3.5-lib jpeg-6b-4-bin jpeg-6b-4-lib zlib-1.2.3-bin zlib-1.2.3-lib
I edited the setup.py to add the GnuWin32 include and lib directories to the search path. When I run "setup.py build_ext" though, it decides that zlib support is available, but freetype and jpeg support are not. Looking through the code, it finds libz.a in the GnuWin32 directory, but there is no similar libjpeg.a or libfreetype.a, so it decides those features aren't available. Other libraries it would accept for jpeg support are: libjpeg.dylib, jpeg.dll, libjpeg.a, liblibjpeg.dylib, libjpeg.dll, or liblibjpeg.a. None of these are present. Searching for information, I see many cryptic pages discussing a2dll, o2dll, dlltool, and so on. I don't understand them. Each time I try a new set of instructions, it points me to another piece of software I don't think I have, and don't know how to get. I feel like a total noob. Can someone help? --Ned. -- Ned Batchelder, http://nedbatchelder.com _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
