couldn't install cffi with setuptools > 65.1.1

[perryitay]

when I install setuptools > 65.1.1, and then try to install cffi : ./python3.9 -s -m pip install cffi --no-binary :all: (I need to use the tar file in order to be able to use it for all os)

I get :

gcc -pthread -Wno-unused-result -Wsign-compare -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -fPIC -DFFI_BUILDING=1 -DUSE__THREAD -DHAVE_SYNC_SYNCHRONIZE -I/opt/redislabs/include/python3.9 -c c/_cffi_backend.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-cpython-39/c/_cffi_backend.o

sorry I don't understand. you don't plan to support newer versions of setuptools ?

You probably want to make an issue on the bugtracker of the Python CFFI project, not the bugtracker of the Common Lisp CFFI project.
