F2py and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6, Win-XP

[Markus Faust]

Hi,

I'm trying to link Fortran files generated with “Compaq Visual Fortran 
Optimizing Compiler Version 6.6 (Update B)” under “Enthought Edition 
build 1028, Python 2.3 (#46, Aug 11 2003, 09:34:05) [MSC v.1200 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32” on Windows-XP”.

I changed mingw32_support.py as proposed by Pearu Peterson on April 8 
2003 (I changed `if 1:` block into `if 0:` block).

When trying the following Python session:


import sys
from scipy_distutils.command.build_flib import 
compaq_visual_fortran_compiler
class wrap(compaq_visual_fortran_compiler):
   def announce(self, s):
      sys.stdout.write(s+'\n')


wrap().get_version()

I get

detecting Compaq Fortran compiler...
DF /what

Has anybody an idea what could be wrong? Finally I would like to link 
f90 files to Python.
