Re: [python-control-discuss] windows no slycot

Would it be an option to use anaconda? Then you can try the slycot I built
for anaconda just Monday (finally pulled this one off).

The problem is deeper than just mingw; the later lapack versions deprecated
some functions; you need lapack (at least that is the only option I have
seen binary versions for Windows for), and an updated Slycot to handle the
incompatibilities

Another option is Christoph Gohlke's python extension packages; that would
work for a regular Windows python http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

Without slycot you are mainly limited in state-space work, and I think it
would be annoying to work around that in a course.

Success,

René
