What happens if you try to build a windows installer "python setup.py bdist_wininst" Also, have you attempted to specify the compiler in "$PYTHON_ROOT\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg" ? I've got a script I use to manually change the "build" section of this file between [build] msvc and [build] min

Hi all, At http://github.com/rgommers/NumPy-release-guide you can find a summary of how to set up your system to build numpy binaries on OS X. I still have to add info on scipy (that's turning out to be fairly painful) but for numpy it is pretty complete. Any feedback is appreciated! Cheers, Ral
