Failed to install populus on Windows (missing 'pkg-config')

[ripper234]

• Populus Version: 1.4.1
• OS: win

What was wrong?

'pkg-config' is required to install this package.

I've fixed this error with pip install pystan (Python >3.5) but after fixing other issues I got 'Cannot find include file unistd.h'. I fixed it just adding a new header with #include <io.h>. But now, I'm stuck on 'fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/time.h': No such file or directory' error.

I'm having the same issue when I try and install populus. pip install pkg-config beforehand doesn't work. Anyone else know how to install populus on windows?

[foobarbecue]

Me too.

See solution for installing pkg-config at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1710922/how-to-install-pkg-config-in-windows Next issue I'm dealing with is how to install dependency secp256k1. Seems to blow up on Windows
