Greetings,
I recently recreated my development environment on my windows machine and
have attempted to build MPL off the SVN trunk. I am able to successfully
compile and build windows installers using both Python 2.5.4 and Python
2.6.4 using MinGW. However, when I install my builds and try to use them I
have some issues.
First, I was unable to build MPL using libpng-1.4.0. I was forced to revert
to libpng-1.2.40
Python 2.5.4
1. After successfully building MPL with GTK support (Yes - I can import GTK
in my Python interpreter with no problems.), I am unable to show or save
figures using MPL. Using IPython, I was able to create the figure instance
but Python quits when trying to display or save said figure instance.
2. After rebuilding MPL without GTK support, I get the same errors.
Python 2.6.4
1. I am able to display figure instances using MPL build with GTK support.
However, when I try to save the figure (in any format) Python quits.
2. I get the same behavior when I build MPL without GTK support.
I have tried building MPL by building the dependencies myself and also with
using the win32_static/win32_static_mingw32 folders and get the same issues
either way. I am hoping whoever is responsible for building the windows
binaries is willing to work with me to solve these issues. I'd like to be
able to build MPL successfully using both Python 2.5.4 and Python 2.6.4 and
then write up a detailed How-To build on Windows.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick
