Installing bitarray in Python 2.6 on Windows
- by John Fouhy
I would like to install bitarray in Windows running python 2.6.
I have mingw32 installed, and I have C:\Python26\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg set to:
[build]
compiler = mingw32
If I type, in a cmd.exe window:
C:\Documents and Settings\john\My Documents\bitarray-0.3.5>python setup.py install
I get:
[normal python messages skipped]
C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall -IC:\Python26\include -IC:\Python26\PC -c bitarray/_bitarray.c -o build\temp.win32-2.6\Release\bitarray\_bitarray.o

Can anyone help?
