[Numpy-discussion] Build error on Windows

[Chris Barker]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to build numpy HEAD on Windows in preparation for the SciPy 
sprints tomorrow. I've never built numpy on Windows, and I'm new to git, 
so I could be doing any number of things wrong.

I think I have the latest code:

C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\My Documents\SciPy\numpy_git\numpy>git 
log -1
commit 6fdfd9c070ce943415d75780702a22f4bbd8f837
Author: Ben Walsh <b at wumpster.com>
Date:   Tue Jul 12 14:52:01 2011 +0100

I tried to build it with a simple:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

and got:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\link.exe /DLL

Python 2.7.2, python.org build (32 bit)
Visual Studio express 2008

That should work, yes?

Thanks for any hints.
