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 to compile. I'm not the first one to face this issue, but I could not find an answer.
This is the console output:
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\pygraphviz-0.99.1>c:\python26\python.exe setup.py

Any help would be appreciated!
Here's what worked for me in Python 2.7. I assume it should work similarly in Python 2.6. Precondition: Install mingw32 (included in pythonxy distrib if you're using it), Graphviz
1) Download pygraphviz sources
2) Edit setup.py to change paths to smth like
library_path=r"c:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz 2.28\bin"
include_path=r"c:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz 2.28\include\graphviz"
Note that it's \bin, not \lib. Linking with libs didn't work for me.
3) run python setup.py build -c mingw32
Result of step 3:
c:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pygraphviz-1.1>python setup.py build -c mingw32
library_path=c:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz 2.28\bin
include_path=c:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz 2.28\include\graphviz
running build

4) copy the result from the just built lib.win32-2.7 (single sub-folder called pygraphviz) into your Python's site-packages folder
Enjoy!
