How To: Compile on Windows with Anaconda

Welcome to our instructions on configuring free compilers to successfully work with f2py and cython on Windows with Anaconda.

How to use this repo

This repo will walk you through the steps to compile two helloworld examples, one with f2py and one with cython. There are a few different pages here that may be useful to you:

• Configuring your compilers: instructions on installing the compilers and configuring Anaconda to work with them
• Testing your compilers: compiling the helloworld examples to check your compilers are configured correctly
• Common issues and error messages: our list of common issues we run into when configuring compilers
• Notes on f2py and cython: some random notes on cython and f2py

If you think something is missing or the instructions are unclear, please be so kind as to submit an issue on GitLab so we can update our instructions.
