Windows release build

This is a running log of interesting bits when setting up my dev environment in win7.

Got this while trying to install numpy via pip install.

Looks like we can get MVC++9 for Python from microsoft... and build numpy yourselves instead of installing someone else's precompiled stuff. Testing it out now... should help us with appveyor as well.

Looks like the 84MiB download from http://aka.ms/vcpython27 did the job. ;)

After that, probably a good idea to install this too: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2092

Sadly h5py (hdf5) won't install that easily under windows. Going to h5py's website/pypi will only net you the win32 builds. I had to use the unofficial builds located here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#h5py

OK....

Did the same thing with gdal: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#gdal

and boom!

Hi, this link 404's for me. I'm very interested in an executable for the latest version, so if you could fix the link I would really appreciate it. Or could it be that I lack sufficient permissions?

[psi29a]

Sorry, the above link is from the 'draft' 0.19 release. Apparently it doesn't expose the files until the draft is posted.

Here is a link I posted from my dropbox: https://github.com/Mindwerks/worldengine/issues/184#issuecomment-187420235

Let me know if you have any issues. It is a 64-bit build.

Awesome, many thanks!
