Did someone successfully solved the "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat" error on windows yet?
<p>6 hours ago i started searching for a solution to compile the c extentions for python 2.7 on windows 7.</p>

<p>I tried all possible solutions like taking an older MINGW version or trying it with the tdm-mingw version (4.4.) Also i tried to change the </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"-Wall -mno-cygwin"</p>
</blockquote>

<p>from the cygwinccompiler
and created the new file distutils.cfg with the new build</p>

<p>but i still get "at least" this error:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1"</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Is there anyone out there who can compile something like "pip install lxml" under windows?</p>

<p>If yes... please share your wisdom...;)
What kind of MINGW version are you running...what's your python version or how does your modified cygwinccompiler.py look like?</p>
