Compile Error On Windows 8.1 Using gcc

Qutepart Installation Bug Report

On Windows 8.1, using Python 3.4.4 from the WinPython distribution, the following error occurred while attempting to run setup.py. This error occured because both the gcc and msvc compiler were installed, and the gcc compiler was selected rather than the msvc compiler.

The solution to this bug was to create a file named setup.cfg (Setup Configuration file) containing the lines:

[build_ext]
compiler=msvc

@bjones1, can we write compiler=msvc in the setup.py if platform is windows?

Doing a bit of digging...

Per the manual, "direct use of distutils is being phased out." @hlamer, would you be open to the suggested replacement, setuptools?
Per the distutils API, there's no compiler option in setup.py. However, there is a command-line --compiler (or -c) option, so we might be able to add that to setup.py by modifying sys.argv.

@Aldenis2112, would you come by to discuss?

Andrei Kopats · Answer 3 · Wed Jun 01 2016 16:48:51 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

It seems like distutils is used for dependency checking.
Any fix is welcome!

@Aldenis2112, I tried to workaround this bug by dynamically creating setup.cfg on Windows but not on Linux. Could you test windows installation now?
