[Numpy-discussion] Numpy-vendor vcvarsall.bat problem.

[Charles R Harris]

Anyone know how to fix this? I've run into it before and never got it
figured out.

Sorry if that's obvious, but do you have Visual Studio 2010 installed ?

I'm running numpy-vendor, which is running wine. I think it is all mingw
with a few installed dll's. The error is coming from the Python distutils
as part of `has_cblas`.

It's not impossible that we have changed the build somewhere along the line.

Which command exactly did you run to have that error ? Normally, the code
in msvc9compiler should not be called if you call the setup.py with the
mingw compiler as expected by distutils

FWIW, the incantation that works for me to compile numpy on Windows with
mingw is:

python setup.py config --compiler=mingw32 build --compiler=mingw32 install

but I am not sure I have ever tried it with Python 3.

I think my source for this was:

http://nipy.sourceforge.net/nipy/devel/devel/install/windows_scipy_build.html

I'm running numpy-vendor which is running wine inside ubuntu inside a vm.
The relevant commands are

run("rm -rf ../local")
run("paver sdist")
run("python setup.py install --prefix ../local")
run("paver pdf")
run("paver bdist_superpack -p 3.4")
run("paver bdist_superpack -p 3.3")
run("paver bdist_superpack -p 2.7")
run("paver write_release_and_log")
run("paver bdist_wininst_simple -p 2.7")
run("paver bdist_wininst_simple -p 3.3")
run("paver bdist_wininst_simple -p 3.4")

Which don't look suspicious. I think we may have changed something in
numpy/distutils, possibly as part of
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/6152

Actually, looks like b6d0263239926e8b14ebc26a0d7b9469fa7866d4. Hmm...,
strange.

OK, that just leads to an earlier cythonize error because random.pyx
changed, so not the root cause.

So the problem comes from the has_cblas function

def has_cblas(self):
# primitive cblas check by looking for the header
res = False
c = distutils.ccompiler.new_compiler()
tmpdir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
s = """#include <cblas.h>"""
src = os.path.join(tmpdir, 'source.c')
try:
with open(src, 'wt') as f:
f.write(s)
try:
c.compile([src], output_dir=tmpdir,
include_dirs=self.get_include_dirs())
res = True
except distutils.ccompiler.CompileError:
res = False
finally:
shutil.rmtree(tmpdir)
return res

The problem is the test compile, which does not use the mingw compiler, but
falls back to the compiler found in python distutils. Not sure what the fix
is.
