Improvements ============ +Partial support for 64-bit f2py extensions with MinGW +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Extensions that incorporate Fortran libraries can now be built using the free +MinGW_ toolset, also under Python 3.5. This works best for extensions that only +do calculations and uses the runtime modestly (reading and writing from files, +for instance). Note that this does not remove the need for Mingwpy; if you make +extensive use of the runtime, you will most likely run into issues_. Instead, +it should be regarded as a band-aid until Mingwpy is fully functional. + +.. _MinGW: https://sf.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/6.2.0/threads-win32/seh/ + +.. _issues: https://mingwpy.github.io/issues.html Changes ======= |
