Hi, Sorry for the offtopic post but I wondered if any Windows experts who are familiar with topics like linking python on windows and visual studio runtimes etc. might be able to help.
I'm on a bit of a mission to get pymex built for 64 bit windows. Pymex ( http://github.com/kw/pymex ) is a matlab package that embeds the Python interpreter in a mex file and provides a very elegant interface for manipulating python objects from matlab, as well as converting between data times when necessary. It builds easily on mac, linux and win32 with mingw, but I really need it also for 64 bit windows. (It works very well with numpy as well so not completely OT). I have looked at trying to get a 64bit mingw working to build mex files, but that seemed quite difficult, so instead I am trying to build with VS 2008 Express Edition + Windows 7 SDK (for 64 bit support). As far as I can tell this is installed OK as I can build the example mex64 files OK. I have made some modifications to pymex to get it to build under vs 2008 ( http://github.com/robince/pymex/tree/win64 ). And I can get it to build and link (I believe using the implicit dll method of linking against C:\Python26\libs\python26.lib of the amd64 python.org python) without errors, but when I run it seems to segfaults whenever a pointer is passed between the mex side and python26.dll. I asked this stackoverflow question which has some more details (build log) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3167134/trying-to-embed-python-into-matlab-mex-win64 Anyway I'm completely in the dark but wondered if some of the experts on here would be able to spot something (perhaps to do with incompatible C runtimes - I am not sure what runtime Python is built with but I thought it was VS 2008).
