title: What setup is need to compile rpy2 on Windows?
body: <p>I've been able to install <code>rpy2</code> v2.0.8 from the <code>.msi</code> from source forge, but I'd like to use the latest version that includes the packages code, i.e. <code>v2.1.9</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I'm attempting to compile rpy2 in windows (python <code>2.6.6</code>). </p>
  
  <p>CL is complaining because <code>LibExtern</code> is being defined as <code>extern</code> and as <code>declspec</code> in different place.</p>
  
  <p><code>gcc</code> and <code>c++</code> can't compile without errors either.</p>
  
  <p>I'm assuming this compiles ok on unix and that all I'm missing is some config (prob environment variables), since I can't believe it would have been released in a non-compilable form.</p>
  
  <p>Any anyone point me in the right direction pls?</p>
  
  <p>Many thx</p>
