Installing PygraphViz on Windows, Python 2.6

Question

Anybody out there has successfully installed PygraphViz on Windows?

Since there is not an official release for Windows, I\'m trying to build it myself, but it fails

Answer 1

Hat the same problem and I finally got it to work! The problem was actually in Python's msvc9compiler.py (yes you do need VS8's vc9 to compile, too). The error comes on line 698 in the function runtime_library_dir_option(). Instead of having it throw an error, have it return the same string as library_dir_option():

def runtime_library_dir_option(self, dir):
    return "/LIBPATH:" + dir

Then compile and it should work.
