[SciPy-dev] Problem building newcore on windows with MinGW

[Brett Olivier]

Hi

I'm trying to build yesterdays newcore on Windows (ATLAS 3.7.11, MinGW gcc 
3.4.4) and distutils does not seem to recognise the --compiler=mingw32 switch 
anymore:

++++

c:\work\newcore> python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32

Running from scipy core source directory.
Assuming default configuration 
(scipy\distutils\command/{setup_command,setup}.py was not found)
Appending scipy.distutils.command configuration to scipy.distutils
Assuming default configuration 
(scipy\distutils\fcompiler/{setup_fcompiler,setup}.py was not found)
Appending scipy.distutils.fcompiler configuration to scipy.distutils
Appending scipy.distutils configuration to scipy
Appending scipy.weave configuration to scipy
Assuming default configuration (scipy\test/{setup_test,setup}.py was not 
found)
Appending scipy.test configuration to scipy
.
.
.
Generating build\src\scipy\base\config.h
No module named msvccompiler in scipy.distutils, trying from distutils..
error: Python was built with version 6 of Visual Studio, and extensions need 
to be built with the same version of the compiler, but it isn't installed.

Where would I need to start looking to fix this? thanks.
Brett
