PR Summary
This is a small update on the install instructions for Windows.
For newer versions of conda the environment variable
%CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV%
points to the name of the environment, not the path. Instead%CONDA_PREFIX%
points to the path which has to be used for copying the files during the build.This change is correctly reflected in the
build_alllocal.cmd
matplotlib/build_alllocal.cmd
Line 24 in c29d9b2
but the documentation needs to be updated as well; at least if we do not want people to spend an hour trying to figure out what's wrong with their built like I just did.
