[SciPy-user] More Information - Build Error (Python 2.4, Scipy 0.3.2) on Windows XP

[Srijit Kumar Bhadra]

Hello,
Thanks to Brett for his reponse. I am now using MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe (gcc
version 3.2.3 and not 3.3.3 as mentioned by Brett). 

I am still  not sure whether the build is successful. Python crashed
when I ran t=scipy.test() after installation of SciPy 0.3.2.

So, I am copying and pasting, below, the last portion of build
output(command python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32)  in the dos
window. 

After executing install command (python setup.py build
--compiler=mingw32 install), I got errors which I am also copying and
pasting, below.

Best Regards,
Srijit

Outputs of Build command and install command are separately pasted
below.
