Build MPL with VS 2008 problem

Mads_Ipsen1 · November 2, 2011, 2:53pm

Hi,

  I am trying to build MPL 1.1.0 with VS 2008 on Windows XP 32. I

have installed

  * Python 2.7.2

  * Numpy 1.6

  In the docs it says

  Windows users only need the first two (python and numpy) since the

others are built into the matplotlib Windows installers available
for download at the sourceforge site. OK, so I also downloaded
matplotlib-1.1.0.win32-py2.7.exe and installed that.

  Now I cd to the matplotlib-1.1.0 directory and issue

  python setup.py build

  and get the following error.

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\cl.exe /c

/nologo /Ox /MD /W

  3 /GS- /DNDEBUG -DPY_ARRAY_UNIQUE_SYMBOL=MPL_ARRAY_API

directory

  Any clues to why       ft2build.h

cannot be located. The above docs says it should be part of the
binary installer.

  Best regards,

  Mads

The binary for freetype is included with the installer, but the
headers (needed to build, but not to run) are not. Do you need to
build matplotlib from source, or just use it?

In that case, you will need to install the development packages for
freetype, libpng, libz, and numpy.

I'm not a regular Windows user, so I don't know what the best

practice is for that these days. Some of the other members on this
list can hopefully jump in. There was also a thread on this list
about “Building on Windows” from 08/18/2011 that might be helpful.

See <[matplotlib-devel] Building on Windows (Was Re: Calling all Mac OSX users!) | matplotlib; and <http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html#build-requirements>

Prebuilt static link libraries for msvc compilers are available at <Archived: Python Extension Packages for Windows - Christoph Gohlke.

It seems you are trying to compile from within cygwin, using the include files provided by cygwin. That will probably not work.

I had to do this sort of thing recently, but I did have to resort to
some hackery to get it done (that I'm not proud of...I was in a bit of
a hurry). Any corrections and or hand-slappings form the mpl-devs
are, I'm sure, well deserved. Anyway....I can only tell you what I
did to get it working, but cannot vouch for the correctness of the
procedure. I also cannot vouch for the correctness of my recollection

First, I downloaded a few dependencies. libpng, libfreetype, and
zlib. Installed them all, which put them in c:\program files
(x86)\gnuwin32.

I might have had to download ActiveTcl and install that, too, for the
tk back end.

Now, you should have headers and libraries all in the gnuwin32
directory. Download matplotlib-1.1.0.tar.gz, and untar it somewhere.
open a Visual C++ command prompt and navigate to the mpl directory. I
assume that python is in your path, so now do the normal

python setup.py configure (I know that configure doesn't exist, but
it gives the printout to tell me what is found and what is not).
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

It is likely during the build process that an include such as
ft2font.h might not be found. I did not spend the time here to figure
out how properly to point matplotlib to the ft2font.h include file
(which is over in the gnuwin32/include dir), so I copied it to the mpl
directory (top level). I think I ended up doing the same with png.h
and pngconf.h. Then run python setup.py build again.

Ugly, but it did work. At some point, I'll go figure out the proper procedure.

Just PyQt and Qt binaries should be enough -- there is no C/C++ code in matplotlib that needs to link to Qt directly.

Hi,

I am now done with the 32 bit case and am trying to do the same for 64
bit now.

Here I get the error:

I am using the

msvcr90-x64

version of the libraries downloaded from

Archived: Python Extension Packages for Windows - Christoph Gohlke

Wrong libraries?

Bestregards,

Yep, had installed a 32 bit Python. Infinite stupid of me. Now it builds out of the box. Thanks for helping out.

Best regards,

Mads

Any clues to why ft2build.h cannot be located. The above docs says
it should be part of the binary installer.

The binary for freetype is included with the installer, but the
headers (needed to build, but not to run) are not. Do you need to
build matplotlib from source, or just use it?

Mike

I need to built it from source.

Mads

In that case, you will need to install the development packages for
freetype, libpng, libz, and numpy.

I'm not a regular Windows user, so I don't know what the best practice
is for that these days. Some of the other members on this list can
hopefully jump in. There was also a thread on this list about
"Building on Windows" from 08/18/2011 that might be helpful.

I can't seem to find this thread anywhere. It it really that difficult
to build on Windows? It most be documented somewhere what the prereqs are?

See<[matplotlib-devel] Building on Windows (Was Re: Calling all Mac OSX users!) | matplotlib; and
<http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html#build-requirements>

Prebuilt static link libraries for msvc compilers are available at
<Archived: Python Extension Packages for Windows - Christoph Gohlke.

It seems you are trying to compile from within cygwin, using the include
files provided by cygwin. That will probably not work.

Christoph

Best regards,

Mads

I am building from the VS2008 command prompt. But thanks for the info.
Will have a look.

Best regards,

Mads

OK. The cygwin in your home path looked suspicious:"c:\cygwin\home\mads
ipsen\"

You are likely using a 32 bit compiler or Python.
