I'll post this to the image-sig as well, but the audience is a bit wider here.
I've just upgraded to Python 2.4. I've installed the free microsoft optimising compiler and hacked distutils to use it - following the instructiosn from http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/ . It works great and I've built a windows installer for PyCrypto 2.0. I'm attempting to compile PIL for python 2.4. The build instructions for windows say : If you're using Python 2.0 or later, you can use the setup.py script to build the library. The following commands should do the trick: $ python setup.py build $ python setup.py install You may need to tweak the setup.py file somewhat in order to make it find certain external libraries; see comments in the file for details. Right - so you actually need to *get* the zlib and jpeg libraries, which I've done. I've not yet got the right header/include files for Tkinter, but it should work without them (just not build those files). Except it bombs out : C:\compile\Imaging-1.1.4\PIL>cd /D C:\compile\Imaging-1.1.4 C:\compile\Imaging-1.1.4>setup.py build *** Cannot find Tcl/Tk headers and library files. *** To build the Tkinter interface, set the TCLROOT *** variable in the setup.py file. running build running build_py running build_ext building '_imaging' extension C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\bin\link.exe /DLL /nologo /INCREMENTAL:NO /LIBPATH:libImaging / LIBPATH:jpeg-6b /LIBPATH:zlib /LIBPATH:C:\Python24\libs /LIBPATH:C:\Python24\PCBuild Imaging.lib jpeg.lib zlib.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib /EXPORT:init_imaging build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\_imaging.obj build\temp.win32 -2.4\Release\decode.obj build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\encode.obj build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\map.obj build\temp.wi n32-2.4\Release\display.obj build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\outline.obj build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\path.obj /OUT:bu ild\lib.win32-2.4\_imaging.pyd /IMPLIB:build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\_imaging.lib LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'Imaging.lib' error: command '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\bin\link.exe"' failed with exit status 1181 C:\compile\Imaging-1.1.4> _imaging.obj is being created - but not linked. I can't find an Imaging.lib file anywhere. Anyone got any clues for me ?
