NEURON as a Python module under Vista 32 with Cygwin

Post by willy »

Hello everyone,

I' trying to install NEURON 7.0 under my Vista 32 bit OS to use it as a Python module in the Eclipse IDE (with PyDev). I exactly follwed the instructions on http://www.davison.webfactional.com/not ... on-python/ , but when I finally try to get the python shared libs with python setup.py install I get an error which I don't understand. I also used some modifications, but I'm pretty much in the dark here. I would be thankful for any hint.

Thanks,

Willy

Re: NEURON as a Python module under Vista 32 with Cygwin

Post by hines »

The Davison instructions are only valid for linux.
To build NEURON as a python module under MSWIN has two forks depending
on whether the python program itself is a native mswin program or a cygwin
program.
If python is run under cygwin, then build as normal and then
make mswin
This will fail when it tries to create the nrnsetup.exe but all the essential
files will be in c:/marshalnrn/nrn/bin
where you can copy hocmodule.dll and cygIVhines-3.dll and nrniv.dll to the proper
python related location where
from neuron import h
will succeed regardless of the launch directory. Some versions of python require that
hocmodule.dll be renamed to a standard name such as hoc.dll .
You may also need a NEURONHOME environment variable.

If the python is a native mswin program then NEURON needs to be built as a MinGW program
and that is done with the configure option
--disable-cygwin
You may also need to specify the proper --with-nrnpython=...
and if that is not enough, also the proper PYLIBDIR PYLIB PYLIBLINK and
PYINCDIR
