Description (Last modified by arj..@yirdis.nl)

configuration: Python 2.5; WinXP [ local paths have been modified to remove my system specifics and to get through spam blocker ] I'm using the standard release of Python 2.5 for Windows.

extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries. Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed, you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py.

Problem is with zope.interface (not Gaphor). Zope.interface tries to build a part of it's code as C extension library. Obviously this requires a C compiler.

As a workaround we could tell our setup script to use versions < 3.4.0. You could also install zope.interface 3.3.0 before installing Gaphor:

easy_install zope.interface==3.3.0
...
easy_install gaphor

I'll see if I can make the zope guys build a py2,5 binary.
