I can not compile Pillow in Windows XP

Question

I installed MinGW GCC, add the path to the PATH variable, create the file in the folder distutils.cfg Lib / distutils in my Python installation. I tried installing with Pip or download the source code and run "python setup.py install". I tried installing it with virtualenv and directly into the system as well. This is the log of Pip:

It is not the only library with which I have problems, but I need to install this one.

Thank you!

When I tried to install Pillow under Windows, I got a similar gcc failure, and the reason apparently was outdated setuptools version.

Installation docs say:

Python Wheel
Note: Experimental. Requires setuptools >=0.8 and pip >=1.4.1
$ pip install --use-wheel Pillow

So, I updated setuptools (making sure I removed the old version), and pip install started to work flawlessly.

Thanks, but this problem could not wait and I did was rewrite my code thinking differently to work with PIL. I think it was the best. – Mauricio Panuncio Jan 31 '14 at 12:03
@MauricioPanuncio: No problem; I don't think anyone would wait a year for answer. I just though this might help other people who suffer from this :-) – che Jan 31 '14 at 13:04
