Thread: [matplotlib-devel] compiling matplotlib using VC6?

I need a python compile with VC6. This python also needs a
matplotlib. Now trying to compile matplotlib with my python version I
get some errors that are easy to overcome, but I'm stuck with an error
in the agg library part:

Is there any tip how to fix this for VC6?=20

Chris Barker and I worked on this a while ago, and I believe we =20
decided it was impossible due to bugs/limitations in the VC++ 6 =20
compiler.

Is there any testsuite for matplotlib. I decided to install the
downloadable matplotlib egg (presumably compiled using VC7) into my
VC6 python and the first samples from the matplotlib tutorial page
which seem to work. I would like to do some more thoroughly testing.
Is there anything recommended?

Testting should possibly done with the "-tt" or at least the "-t"
command line switch to identify inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in
indentations. My library tests run with the "-tt" switch and fail in
some matplotlib modules.
