Well, not familiar with this at all but giving it a try...In the setupext.py
header it reads:
This build is similar to the mingw. Download the visual studio static
dependencies from
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/win32_static_vs.tar.gz and
see the README in that dir
I did that. Then, README there says:
Contents:
Static dependencies for building mpl for win32 using
Visual Studio.
Extract to the matplotlib source folder.
I extracted it to the matplotlib folder itself and also on another
try the subfolder, src. In both cases then from cmd did:
python setup.py build bdist_wininst
In both cases got same error as before.
I like to be more help but I am not sure what to do.
It isn't crucial that I get the latest via SVN and
build it myself, but I thought it would be good to learn
to do this generally, just didn't realize it would be a bit
of an expedition. Not sure what to do.
Thanks.
