#11152 — problem installing psyco on windows (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat)

Hi,

I'd like to install psyco on my windows host


I'm using python 2.6.4 (32 bit version)

I installed easy_intall and  pip

easy_install psyco
and
pip install psyco fail both with the message
error: Setup script exited with error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat


I read, that this means I shoul dinstall a C-compiler
I also read, that I should NOT Micrusoft Visual C++ Express 2010
(which is unfortunately exactly the version, which I installed for some
other activity.


So my question:

- If I install visual Studio 2008 addtiojnally to visualstudia 2010,
will easy_install find this compiler?
- I read about the alternative of using MingW instead of Visual Studio
Express 2008.

What could influence my choice of Compiler?

Thanks for any suggestions

You can download the sources tarball and when building specify the compiler.
See http://docs.python.org/install/index.html#gnu-c-cygwin-mingw

Your answer put me on the right track.


This works:
- downloading mingw
- downloading and extracting the tarfile the tar file
- python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32
- python setup.py install


In order to directly use pip / easy_install

I created the file %USERPROFILE%\pydistutils.cfg
with following two contents:
[build]
compiler=mingw32


and added mingw to my search path.

now in can directly type
pip install psyco



Thanks again
