build problem under Windows 7 64-bit Anaconda distribution compiling with MinGW

[lyonj]

I am having problems installing blist from source on Windows 7 (64-bit) with an Anaconda 1.7 Python distribution (compiler is MinGW gcc). The Python header files are installed and I can compile other C extensions. I get the same error building from source or using pip. The output of the pip installer is below.

I am having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

[lyonj]

The author is aware of the problem and asked that I put in this ticket so he could track it. I haven't seen any updates.

Same problem here, please let know if you need any more logs.

+1 - please take a look and see if this can be resolved.

I found the problem. The problem is that your installed Python libraries and your installed Python headers. Normally, mixing libraries and headers within the 2.7.x series is safe, which is why most extensions work fine. However, http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/5a2ef447b80d introduced an incompatible change in a macro that blist calls.

You need to either upgrade your installed libraries 2.7.4 or greater, or downgrade your installed headers to 2.7.3 or lower. Replacing include/object.h with the one at the following link might be sufficient, but I haven't tested it.

http://hg.python.org/cpython/raw-file/40b684215b4f/Include/object.h

Hope that helps!
