weave inline missing header msvc

[bbudescu]

When trying to use msvc with weave I get the following error:
C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\weave\blitz\blitz/bzconfig.h(15) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'blitz/ms/bzconfig.h': No such file or directory

I ended up copying the msvc2010-specific header file with the same name from the blitz++ project. I don't know how the two projects are related, but the files had similar definitions within, so I assumed they are compatible. Now weave works (I don't know how well, given the fact that I use msvc 2008).

I assume that this is not a regression, but just never worked with your setup and MSVC version?

[bbudescu]

I never tried it before, so I don't know whether it has ever worked. I recently switched to Cristoph Gohlke's builds of numpy and scipy.

[rgommers]

Can you provide a code snippet that fails?

[bbudescu]

The code here fails:https://github.com/JasperSnoek/spearmint/blob/master/spearmint/spearmint/gp.py#L71

yup google led me to this problem. from spearmint using msvc.

@bbudescu what did you do exactly?

[bbudescu]

Can't say I remember, but it seems I got the missing file / a replacement from somewhere.

[majidaldo]

@bbudescu thx. i tried that. the compilation progressed but still got an error which i think has to do with 64-bit windows.

sigh. can't believe we still have to deal with this in windows in 2015. mingw didn't work either.

Closing since weave is no longer a part of SciPy. This issue is now tracked at scipy/weave#7.
