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?
