I need a python compile with VC6. This python also needs a matplotlib. Now trying to compile matplotlib with my python version I get some errors that are easy to overcome, but I'm stuck with an error in the agg library part: C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~4\VC98\bin\cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /MD /W3 /GX /DNDEBUG = -Iw:\hoel\work\Python-2.4.4\dist\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\include = -IW:\hoel\work\libs\include -I. -Isrc -Iswig -Iagg23/include -I. = -IW:\hoel\work\libs\include -I. = -Iw:\hoel\work\Python-2.4.4\dist\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\include\fre= etype2 -IW:\hoel\work\libs\include\freetype2 -I.\freetype2 = -Isrc\freetype2 -Iswig\freetype2 -Iagg23/include\freetype2 -I.\freetype2 = -IW:\hoel\work\libs\include\freetype2 -I.\freetype2 = -Iw:\hoel\work\Python-2.4.4\dist\include = -Iw:\hoel\work\Python-2.4.4\dist\PC /Tpsrc/_ns_backend_agg.cpp = /Fobuild\temp.win32-2.4\Release\src/_ns_backend_agg.obj -DSCIPY=3D1 = _ns_backend_agg.cpp src/_ns_backend_agg.cpp(74) : warning C4800: 'long' : forcing value to = bool 'true' or 'false' (performance warning) src/_ns_backend_agg.cpp(376) : error C2893: Failed to specialize = function template 'void __thiscall RendererAgg::_fill_and_stroke(VS = &,const class GCAgg &,const struct std::pair<bool,struct agg::rgba> &,bool)' With the following template arguments: 'class agg::path_storage' src/_ns_backend_agg.cpp(423) : error C2893: Failed to specialize = function template 'void __thiscall RendererAgg::_fill_and_stroke(VS = &,const class GCAgg &,const struct std::pair<bool,struct agg::rgba> = &,bool)' With the following template arguments: 'class agg::path_storage' src/_ns_backend_agg.cpp(476) : error C2893: Failed to specialize = function template 'void __thiscall RendererAgg::_fill_and_stroke(VS = &,const class GCAgg &,const struct std::pair<bool,struct agg::rgba> = &,bool)' With the following template arguments: 'class agg::path_storage' src/_ns_backend_agg.cpp(1887) : error C2893: Failed to specialize = function template 'void __thiscall RendererAgg::_fill_and_stroke(VS = &,const class GCAgg &,const struct std::pair<bool,struct agg::rgba> = &,bool)' With the following template arguments: 'class agg::path_storage' error: Command "C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~4\VC98\bin\cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /MD = /W3 /GX /DNDEBUG = -Iw:\hoel\work\Python-2.4.4\dist\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\include = -IW:\hoel\work\libs\include -I. -Isrc -Iswig -Iagg23/include -I. = -IW:\hoel\work\libs\include -I. = -Iw:\hoel\work\Python-2.4.4\dist\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\include\fre= etype2 -IW:\hoel\work\libs\include\freetype2 -I.\freetype2 = -Isrc\freetype2 -Iswig\freetype2 -Iagg23/include\freetype2 -I.\freetype2 = -IW:\hoel\work\libs\include\freetype2 -I.\freetype2 = -Iw:\hoel\work\Python-2.4.4\dist\include = -Iw:\hoel\work\Python-2.4.4\dist\PC /Tpsrc/_ns_backend_agg.cpp = /Fobuild\temp.win32-2.4 \Release\src/_ns_backend_agg.obj -DSCIPY=3D1" = failed with exit status 2 Is there any tip how to fix this for VC6?=20 Thanks Kind regards Berthold H=F6llmann --=20 Germanischer Lloyd AG CAE Development Vorsetzen 35 20459 Hamburg Phone: +49(0)40 36149-7374 Fax: +49(0)40 36149-7320 e-mail: ber...@gl...
