Installing from source in Windows 7 gives WinError #84

Closed pllim closed 7 years ago

pllim commented 7 years ago

Using Anaconda on Windows 7 64-bit. Since AstroConda has no Windows distribution, my only option is to install from source, but even that failed.

@pllim it looks like you forgot to pull the submodule data

pllim commented 7 years ago

I did git submodule update --init -- cextern/xpa and still get the following error. I have checked that both cextern and astropy_helpers folders are not empty.

jhunkeler commented 7 years ago

This is because build_ext explicitly calls make, but can't find it in %PATH% so it dies (very ambiguously).

XPA also requires some manual patches to the code in order to build on Windows. I remember reading about it in their docs not too long ago.

pllim commented 7 years ago

So in English, it means imexam currently cannot build on Windows unless this magical patch is applied?

pllim commented 7 years ago

For the record, I just want to use this with Ginga, which does not need XPA. Is there a way to make cextern/xpa success optional, i.e., imexam will still install without XPA?

sosey commented 7 years ago

I think there's also the issue of the windows C compiler she has on her system, and having to point to an explicit one, including all these goodies: https://github.com/cython/cython/wiki/CythonExtensionsOnWindows

I have on my list this week to try out the latest release of xpa and haven't read through the docs yet, perhaps they've added the windows the patches.

also on the list is to see if I can do this in appveyor

(note: I haven't used windows since XP :-O )

sosey commented 7 years ago

Let me think about the best way to make an optional build with no cython

pllim commented 7 years ago

I think my Windows 7 is using Visual C++ 2015, as I had to install that to build Astropy from source. (Let me know if there is a specific command I can use to find out for sure. My win-fu is not very strong.)

When I do gcc --version, it gives 4.7.0 (experimental). Not sure if that is provided by Visual C++ install, or I somehow installed that manually in the past. (This is an old laptop.)

I have Cython 0.25.2 from Anaconda distribution.

pllim commented 7 years ago

@jhunkeler , did you ever get this to install on that Windows VM?
