Did someone succeed to have pymqi installed under Cygwin with python3.6

I need to run pytest with pymqi under Cygwin in my Windows environment, the windows MQ lib are installed, and I was using some pip options to make the compiling processus finding the include and lib folder ... like :
pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/cygdrive/c/Program Files/IBM/MQ/Tools/c/include" pymqi
but during link it is looking for the mqic_r dynamic lib, which is an MQ Lib variant under unixes versions, under windows there is no '_r' variants of the libs
creating build/lib.cygwin-3.3.6-x86_64-3.6
creating build/lib.cygwin-3.3.6-x86_64-3.6/pymqi
gcc -shared -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base build/temp.cygwin-3.3.6-x86_64-3.6/code/pymqi/pymqe.o -LC:\Program Files\IBM\MQ/lib64 -L/opt/mqm/lib64 -L/usr/lib/python3.6/config -L/usr/lib -lmqic_r -lpython3.6m -o build/lib.cygwin-3.3.6-x86_64-3.6/pymqi/pymqe.cpython-36m-x86_64-cygwin.dll
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/11/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lmqic_r: No such file or directory
Any clues ? maybe some way to change the pymqi compilation process ?
Best regards

Making Cython work with Python 3.4 on Anacondas, Windows 7 64-bit

I have just installed Python 3.4 on my Windows 7 64-bit machine, using Anaconda/Condas.
When I run the "hello world" cython example I get this error:
[py34] C:\Users\Jon\Documents\GitHub\CythonFunctions\cython_funcs>python setup.py build_ext --inplace

From searching stackoverflow and google, this error occurs when the gcc and python versions are not both either 32 bit or 64 bit.
I have checked that my Python is 64 bit. The MinGW that I have, as can be seen from the path below, was part of my Python installation. How can I check if it is 64 bit or not? Or could this error be due to something else?
Update:
Strangely, the Ipython cythonmagic command here works fine:
http://docs.cython.org/src/quickstart/build.html?highlight=cythonmagic

One way would be to conda remove libpython (this will cause distutils to not use mingw), and install Visual Studio 2010, and use that to compile.

Your gcc line is missing a define: -DMS_WIN64. Anaconda (I presume) have modified the file cygwinccompiler.py in Lib/distutils of 2.7 envs, but this modification is not present in the distutils of the 3.4 env. I was getting different errors to yours, but this change fixed my setup.

I ran into a similar problem with Anaconda but it worked when I stopped trying to compile in the py34 directory. Instead put your helloworld.pyx file (make sure you change it to that extension .pyx as well) in the Anaconda3 folder along with the setup.py and when you compile make sure you are in the Anaconda3 folder as well so C:\Anaconda3 python setup.py build_ext --inplace. If memory serves this ran just fine.

This might work for linking problems (to be done in a temporary directory; copy instead of cp if not in a msys2 environment)
gendef c:/Windows/System32/python34.dll
dlltool -U -d python34.def -l libpython34.dll.a
cp libpython34.dll.a c:/Python34/libs
If gendef is unable to access python34.dll, it can be copied using windows explorer before gendef command.
gendef is available at least with mingw-w64 packages.

How to install Boost.Python on Windows 7 in order to install a python package?

I want to install the pyvlfeat package. It requires Boost.Python.
When I run the command
python.exe setup.py build
I receive the following message:
C:\Users\alex\Anaconda\Scripts\gcc.bat -DMS_WIN64 -mdll -O -Wall -IC:\Users\A
lexkow\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python27\site-packages\numpy\core\include -Ivlfeat

In file included from vlfeat/mser/vl_erfill.cpp:7:0:
vlfeat/mser/../py_vlfeat.h:18:28: fatal error: boost/python.hpp: No such file or
directory
Which tells me Boost.Python is not installed correctly on my computer, or that I don't launch the python install command correctly.
The package INSTALL instructions are :
Building the Module on a Unix System --
The C++ wrappers require Boost.Python to be installed:
$ sudo apt-get install boost-python1.35-dev
pyvlfeat uses distutils, so to build the library:
$ python setup.py build
As I am on Windows I can't sudo apt-get, so I downloaded boost 1.57.0 and extracted it into
C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_57_0
It did not change the result. And now I don't know what I should do:
When I read the documentation
The section 3: "No-Install Quick Start" explains how to build an extension module called extending and test it by running a Python script called test_extending.py. I don't think that is what I want to achieve and it seems outdated because it talks about the bjam build driver.
The section 4: "Installing Boost.Python on your system" looks more interresting, but it says the information is in the Getting Started Guide, and it is not.
How to install Boost.Python on Windows 7 in order to install a python package ? ?

I am looking at the setup.py file. It looks like you can set BOOST_PATH at the top. You should set that to the correct path to the Boost you downloaded, I think.

Setting Up PocketSphinx in Mac OS X

I am running Enthought Python 2.7 as well as default Python 2.7, Xcode 4.5.1 in Mac OS 10.8.2. I am trying to develop a speech to text converter in Python. I use Enthought Python as it allows me to record in 16000Hz, 1 Channel using pyaudio, which is needed for pocketsphinx to work.
I am trying to setup pocketsphinx using brew install pocketsphinx.
I get the following errors
Even manual installation using make and using default python results in same errors
Using brew doctor, I get
How do I successfully install pocketsphinx?
Here is my config.log
Homebrew logs pocketsphinx, sphinxbase

According to the log you have outdated version of the libsndfile installed. You have a header sndfile.h, but not sndfile.pc pkg-config file:
configure:14532: checking for SNDFILE
configure:14540: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "sndfile"
Package sndfile was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `sndfile.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'sndfile' found
configure:14543: $? = 1
configure:14558: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "sndfile"
Package sndfile was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `sndfile.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'sndfile' found
configure:14561: $? = 1
No package 'sndfile' found
configure:14589: result: no
configure:14603: checking sndfile.h usability
configure:14603: gcc -std=gnu99 -c -g -O2 -Wall -

I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.3/include/python2.7 conftest.c >&5
configure:14603: $? = 0
configure:14603: result: yes
To solve this problem either remove the header to not confuse the configure or install newer sndfile with pkg-config support.
Actually that should be fixed in sphinxbase as well, a bug report would be welcome.

What is the best way to setup Django on os X 10.7 Lion?

I am setting up Python and Django on os X 10.7 from a virgin install and Xcode 4.3.
I tried using the default install of Python:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/
I normally use a Python based package manager called easy_install.
Easy_install seems to not be able to find the compiler.
EDIT: When I tried to install MySQL-python I got this error:
$ sudo easy_install MySQL-python

unable to execute llvm-gcc-4.2: No such file or directory
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'llvm-gcc-4.2' failed with exit status 1
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'llvm-gcc-4.2' failed with exit status 1
Apparently, the system attempts to use the same compiler used to compile the installed Python framework.
For some reason Apple didn't include llvm-gcc-4.2.
Xcode 4.1 used GCC, but with Xcode 4.3 that seems to have changed.
From what I can gather, Apple wants to use Clang as the compiler vs GCC.
So I added to .bash_profile:
cc=clang
I decided I would just recompile Python with clang but first, I needed to install readline.

What the easiest way to install Django on Lion 10.7?

Did you install the command-line tools with Xcode 4.3? They are not installed by default. You can install them by going to the Downloads pane in Xcode 4.3's preferences.

Making it way too hard:
First, make sure you install Xcode (available for free in the Mac App Store). It includes all the build tools that might be necessary to compile certain Python packages.
To get easy_install just download setuptools and follow the instructions for installing on Mac OS X at that link.
Once that's done, you can easy_install virtualenv to get a nice segregated environment to work in.

For the MySQL issue you have to edit the site.cfgfile:
mysql_config = /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
And then:
$ python setup.py build
$ sudo python setup.py install

Try updating XCode and reinstall all global site-packages. You may also want to try pip instead of easy_install.
You can also try to compile with
export ARCHFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64'
This solved many of my problems in the past when upgrading OSX versions.
