Issue while pip installing p4p (Windows 11) #129

Open nellomellow99 opened 1 year ago

nellomellow99 commented 1 year ago

Hey everybody,

When trying to install python packages with pip (p4p, epicscorelibs) I get an error message indicating that Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. If I then try to download Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 14.0 using the Microsoft C++ Build Tools (Desktop Development with C++), the installation fails: Fehlermeldung_Mic_cpp

I have selected the following in the installation details of “Desktop Development with C”: Screenshot (4)

I use Windows 11 as my operating system, but my colleagues who use Windows 10 do not have this problem.

I am happy about every hint and especially if someone has a potential workaround.

Best, Nelson

Sorry, I didn't notice this issue when it came in.

Which python version(s) have you tried?

You should not need MSVC to make use of the pre-built wheel binaries.

Do you intend to do a source built?

Currently I provide pre-built wheels on windows/amd64 for py 3.5 -> 3.11.
