Re: Building PyTave on windows - cygwin

[Abhinav Tripathi]

Hi,

Thanks to Tatsuro, I was able to install many of the required packages to MSYS2 environment....

Although I have a few questions:
(Keeping in mind that I want to build PyTave such that it can later be distributed and built for users on windows like other octave packages)
.

1) Should I use mingw64 toolchains (gcc/python...) for building PyTave or the gcc I get with 'pacman -S gcc' would do?
.

2) While building on MSYS2, should I prefer calling .exe files or linux executables of the same program (python.exe or python)?
.

3) PyTave has libboost-python as dependency. Should I build boost on windows (from source) and then use it somehow on MSYS2 or should I build boost from source on the unixy environment of MYSY2?

If both would give the same result, which should be preferred?
I have to build it from source as 'pacman -S libboost-python' could not install it. Is there some other way to do it. (perhaps copy the files from my ubuntu machine?)
.
.

Definitely. I'll try building pytave and using your binary in evening. I'll let you know if I stumble upon some error.
