That's easy. For an extra challenge, try python-mapnik (libgmp is just one of the dependencies).

- scw 10y agoAnything that depends on both boost and gdal is bound to be pain. I once spent 22 hours getting a build of GDAL on FreeBSD with the drivers I needed.
- tavert 10y agoEasy how? Otherwise the scipy maintainers would be doing it.
- vetinari 10y agoRelatively easy. I gave you an example, that has several dozens of dependencies, with several different build systems, of which not all of them support building with VS. And that's targeting py3. For py2, you would need to build with VS2008, which some packages flat out refuse (for example, icu wants at least VS2010).
- tavert 10y agoHow many of them don't support MSVC due to requiring features that MSVC can't handle (like inline assembly or Fortran), vs not wanting to deal with build system contortions?
- vetinari 10y agoHonestly, I have no idea about the current status. Last time I tried, it was some two years ago and it was a major PITA. Since then, when I need newer versions, I just use either Linux or Mac.
