error: Setup script exited with error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003; extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries. Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed, you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py.
But there are four easy steps to get through this hurdle.
1. Get and install MinGW from (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=240780)
I installed the stable version into the default directory.
2. Add c:\mingw\bin to your PATH environment variable.
3. Put these lines into
[build] compiler = mingw32 [config] compiler = mingw324. Copy c:\windows\system32\python25.dll into c:\mingw\lib
Otherwise you would get:
c:\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lpython25
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
If you are using virtualenv you have to do the step 2 for all of your python virtual environments.
And you are done. This is my setup and it's sufficient to install source distributions of setuptools, cx_Oracle, simplejson, mercurial and probably other libraries. I was able to use it on Windows Vista and 2003 Server with both Python 2.5 a and Python 2.6.

Hello,
ReplyDeletePlease can you explain what you mean by "Add c:\mingw\bin to your path.", perhaps with an example.
Apologies, I am new to this!
Regards,
Just to update, I have the following in a .bat file:
ReplyDeleteC:\Python25\Scripts\easy_install.exe greenlet
I have also tried..
C:\Python25\Scripts\easy_install.exe;c:\mingw\bin greenlet
Thanks for any help on this!
step 2. means modify your PATH environment variable to also include "c:\mingw\bin". Quick Google search reveals this description of what that means: http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/environment.htm
ReplyDeletefor Windows XP. If you have Vista try to Google something up pls.
I'm improving the wording of that step..
Just a quick refresh: The guide still works for the newest Python (2.6.5) and Windows 7.
ReplyDeletePut these lines into \lib\distutils\distutils.cfg
ReplyDeleteI am afraid I don't have such a structure - not able to find the configuration file at C:\Python26 ?
I thought there is pythonxyz\lib\distutils directory in every windows python installation. Eg C:\Python2.6\lib\distutils.
ReplyDeleteIf no distutils.cfg file exists in the directory, you have to create it. Does it answer your question?
Hi Im trying to do this with Python 27 on Windows 7 but still getting the "collect2: ld returned 1 exit status error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1" error. Can you help me?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: don't know if it will help, but I am getting a similar error (Windows 7/Python 2.6)

Obviously in this case it is the -m option making it fail... why that is I don't know.
Also, FYI, for me the distutils.cfg I had to create in \Applications\Python26\Lib\distutils
