WARNING: this may contain outdated information.
If you are using Windows, then, first of all: sorry. This is not ideal, but I understand that it might not be your fault. I will assume you are trying to get pygrappa installed on Windows 10. I will further assume that you are using Python 3.7 64-bit build. We will need a C++ compiler to install pygrappa, so officially you should have "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools" installed. I haven't tried this, but it should work with VS build tools installed.
However, if you are not able to install the build tools, we can do it using the MinGW compiler instead. It'll be a little more involved than a simple pip install, but that's what you get for choosing Windows.
Steps:
- Download 64-bit fork of MinGW from
- Follow this guide:
Now you should be able to use gcc/g++/etc. from CMD-line
- Modify cygwinccompiler.py similar tobut using the version number 1916:
def get_msvcr():
"""Include the appropriate MSVC runtime library if Python
was built with MSVC 7.0 or later.
"""
msc_pos = sys.version.find('MSC v.')
if msc_pos != -1:
msc_ver = sys.version[msc_pos+6:msc_pos+10]
if msc_ver == '1300':
# MSVC 7.0
return ['msvcr70']
elif msc_ver == '1310':
# MSVC 7.1
return ['msvcr71']
elif msc_ver == '1400':
# VS2005 / MSVC 8.0
return ['msvcr80']
elif msc_ver == '1500':
# VS2008 / MSVC 9.0
return ['msvcr90']
elif msc_ver == '1600':
# VS2010 / MSVC 10.0
return ['msvcr100']
elif msc_ver == '1916': # <- ADD THIS CONDITION
# Visual Studio 2015 / Visual C++ 14.0
return ['vcruntime140']
else:
raise ValueError(
"Unknown MS Compiler version %s " % msc_ver)- now run the command:
pip install --global-option build_ext --global-option \
--compiler=mingw32 --global-option -DMS_WIN64 pygrappaHopefully this works for you. Refer to #17 for a more detailed discussion.
