Hi,
am trying to install wxpython on cygwin. I am following instructions on
http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/wxPythonCygwin and have gone thru to
step8. Building wxpython seems to have gone thru ok using:
python setup.py build_ext --inplace WXPORT=msw BUILD_GLCANVAS=0
BUILD_GIZMOS=0 UNICODE=0 --compiler=cygwin

now when i try to install wxpython as in step 12, it gives me error
saying

Warning: Can’t read registry to find the necessary compiler setting
Make sure that Python modules _winreg, win32api or win32con are
installed.building ‘core’ extensionerror: Python was built with Visual
Studio version 6, and extensions need to be built with the same version
of the compiler, but it isn’t installed.

When i try specifying compiler as cygwin using
python setup.py install WXPORT=msw BUILD_GLCANVAS=0 BUILD_GIZMOS=0
UNICODE=0 --compiler=cygwin

it says
error: option --compiler not recognized

!!!

any suggestion!!! Faisal A. KhanDoctral CandidateUniversity of New

try:

COMPILER=cygwin

instead of --compiler=cygwin

I don’t know what “–compiler-cygwin” does and I don’t see it in the
instructions in the wiki. I have never needed it.

You should be using Cygwin python, not Windows python. “which python”
should tell you which python will be run, and you can double-check by
running python and entering the commands:

import os
os.name
import sys
sys.executable

os.name should be ‘posix’ and os.executable should be something like
‘/usr/bin/python’. If os.name is ‘nt’ and os.executable is something
like
‘c:\python25\python.exe’ then you have the wrong python. You may need
install the Cygwin python package or modify your PATH to be sure the
Cygwin
python is used.
