RE: [f2py] Location of vcvarsall.bat on Windows

Pearu,

Thanks for the response. I'm not exactly sure which steps of my long convoluted experience lead to me to get this worked out. But I think I downloaded a fresh installation of MingW32 and few other things (gforthan?) and eventually called it like so:

##
C:\Python\Scripts> c:\python\python f2py.py -c --compiler=mingw32 --fcompiler=gnu95 -m foo bar.f90
##

Though looking back at the screenshot I took for posterity, I did this with my Python 2.5.4 installation. It works with my Python 2.6.2 installation after the code found gcc.exe in my Pythonxy 2.5 directory. Either way, I'm satisfied. 

Thank you very much
-paul
