The instructions on that page (reasonably) assume that the developer has a working Python build system and knows how to build the required 3rd party libraries. This is not matplotlib specific information and is better described in the documentation for Python and the libraries.

This is fixed in svn 8392. Look for it in the upcoming
release. Please
test from svn if you are ablehttp://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#install-from-svn
Thanks for the report,
JDHHi, John, etc. I checked-out current revision (8396 I
believe), tried to
build using python setup.py build, got error: Unable to
find vcvarsall.bat.
Googled, determined that it was something I'm supposed
to get w/ a VC
runtime, so grabbed the most recent version (VC2010 or
some such),
installed, determined that I now have a vcvarsall.bat
and added it's
location to my path, but am still getting the error.
Any ideas?
Windows 7 home prem. 64 bit. Python 2.6. Thanks!DG
Oh, and the error happens after building
'matplotlib.ft2font' extension.
Thanks again,Perhaps Christoph, who builds the win32 binaries, can let you know
what he does. It's never as simple a python setup.py install,
though.
You may want to look in the release/win32 directory at the
README.txt
and Makefile.You need Visual Studio 2008 (MSVC9) to compile extensions for Python
>=2.6 on Windows. "python setup.py build" works once you have built
the prerequisites. See
<http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html>\.Compared to what you've written here, those instructions are incomplete
and/or out-of-date.DG
I link against the static libraries of libpng, zlib, and freetype,
compiled with the /MD switch. You may have to adjust your %LIB% and
%INCLUDE% environment variables and rename the lib files in order to
be found by the matplotlib build system.
