Error: command 'gcc' failed: No such file or directory

Question

I\'m trying to run a

python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32

but it results in the error mentioned in the subject:

error:         


        

Answer 1

After hours and hours of searching, I've discovered that this is a problem between MinGW and Python. They don't communicate well with one another.

There exists a binary package of MinGW (unofficial) that was meant for use with Python located here

It fixes the problem!
