For the first time, I am trying to compile a matplotlib installer for win32 / python2.4 under cygwin. I tested this earlier with one of the pre-release candidates and had no troubles. But when I compile with python2.4, I get the following error when I try and import my extension code
the procedure entry point _ctype could not be located in the dynamic link libary msvcr71.dll This DLL resides in C:\Windows\System32 on my system If I edit the distutils/cygwincompiler.py file and remove the line that add this lib elif msc_ver == '1310': # MSVC 7.1 #self.dll_libraries = ['msvcr71'] self.dll_libraries = [] My code compiles, links and runs fine, at least in initial tests Any reason I shouldn't be doing this?
