Build Failure on Windows using Python25

Patrick_Marsh · February 6, 2009, 8:34pm

Greetings,

I have previously been able to build matplotlib on my Windows Vista
machine using both Python25 and Python26. However, after my latest
update to SVN, I'm no longer able to build matplotlib on my Windows
machine (but am with my gentoo box). Below is the output from the
build log using Python25 (which failed). Ryan May and I did a little
digging we're thinking that either MSVC doesn't like uint8_t, or it
needs some missing header that isn't already included so that it knows
what unit8_t is.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so, has anyone overcome this?

Patrick,

Can you see if adding "#include <stdint.h>" at the top of src/path.cpp
will do the job?

I'm not super-optimistic, though -- I think this is defined by the C99
standard, which I'm not sure Microsoft supports.

Well, we’re also talking about C++ here and not C, so C99 does not apply. A quick googling around seems to indicate that some of the open source compilers support such a type, but it not standardized by C++.

There is no <stdint.h> or the type is not defined in stdint.h?

Maybe as a workaround you could use mingw...

I meant that uint8_t is not a standardized C++ type. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to tweak the code to use something standard rather than just use a compiler that supports the non-standard type? Especially given that the official Python 2.5 build uses this compiler?

Please stick with standard types.

And MSVC 2005 and higher do have C99 support, it is just unfortunate
that it is not complete.

Just getting to this thread now -- I think this was introduced in my recent changes. I'm used to being on platforms where this is defined, so I forgot that it's not always there.

In this specific case "unsigned char" is probably equivalent everywhere we run, so we might as well just do that. If a Windows user can verify that fix works, I'll fix it in SVN.

Thanks for the report. I'll make the change in SVN.

[For those planning the next bugfix release: this only affects the trunk.]

I just tried this fix and was able to build on Windows Vista.

Just getting to this thread now -- I think this was introduced in my
recent changes. I'm used to being on platforms where this is defined,
so I forgot that it's not always there.

In this specific case "unsigned char" is probably equivalent everywhere
we run, so we might as well just do that. If a Windows user can verify
that fix works, I'll fix it in SVN.

    Patrick,

    Can you see if adding "#include <stdint.h>" at the top of
src/path.cpp
    will do the job?

    I'm not super-optimistic, though -- I think this is defined by the
C99
    standard, which I'm not sure Microsoft supports.

Well, we're also talking about C++ here and not C, so C99 does not
apply. A quick googling around seems to indicate that some of the
open source compilers support such a type, but it not standardized by
C++.

There is no <stdint.h> or the type is not defined in stdint.h?

Maybe as a workaround you could use mingw...

I meant that uint8_t is not a standardized C++ type. If that's the case,
wouldn't it be better to tweak the code to use something standard rather
than just use a compiler that supports the non-standard type? Especially
given that the official Python 2.5 build uses this compiler?

Please stick with standard types.

And MSVC 2005 and higher do have C99 support, it is just unfortunate
that it is not complete.

Ryan

Cheers,

Michael
