I can not for the life of me install triangle #50

Closed mdietrich16 closed 4 years ago

mdietrich16 commented 4 years ago

I am actually trying to install glumpy, which depends on triangle. Both cannot be installed either via pip or source install, and because both spit out the same error, I am now here. I am using Windows 10, installing in an Anaconda env with Python 3.7. The error I get after cloning the repo, doing

cd triangle
python setup.py install

is

I masked my filesystem structure with ----- and *****. Those should be valid paths. I would be happy to give you more information, I just don't know what :)

I have not used Windows for years, so I am afraid I will not be of much help. But if you can fix the issue, I would be happy to merge the fix. It would be nice to run triangle on as many platforms as possible.

mdietrich16 commented 4 years ago

Well, since I have no idea what any of this means, I probably can't fix it. Do you know what it's trying to do?

drufat commented 4 years ago

The error line 

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'OLDNAMES.lib'

indicates it is trying to to link against a file, which is not mentioned anywhere in the triangle source.

Can you try to install triangle on windows using pip? It is released as a binary wheel now so there should be no compilation step.

mdietrich16 commented 4 years ago

I already installed it successfully right from the wheel, I can try to do it via pip.

mdietrich16 commented 4 years ago

Yes, works via pip in windows.

Great! Thanks for checking.
