pip install error on Windows

I'm trying to install from pip, but I always run into this error:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for fugashi
Failed to build fugashi
ERROR: Could not build wheels for fugashi, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I have installed mecab and mecab-python3, and when I tried to install fugashi with pip install fugashi, i run into the same error.

That's...unfortunate. I don't have any connection to the fugashi package so nothing I can do, and I don't know any workarounds, unfortunately. Gonna have to use the prebuilt binary which has it included until the fugashi team fixes it, or the problem goes away on it's own.

Raise this issue to the fugashi project instead, I can't help here.

[arihid]

Okay. I just raised the issue to the fugashi project.

[VoxelCubes]

Good, hopefully they can sort it out.

Update: the fugashi project is working on a fix and a working dev version is in testing. We can expect a working version soon.

cool, thanks for the update!
