Hi,

I just fixed these issues and kicked off a new PIP build for version 4.1.10. Please wait for 4.1.10 to show up in PIP: https://pypi.org/project/pyapproxmc/

However, it is HIGHLY likely that it will not work for you without Windows Subsystem For Linux (WSL) -- see here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install it basically gives you a Linux terminal in Windows. Then you can pip install there. You WILL need apt-get install libboost-all-dev before pip install pyapproxmc. However, my understanding is that pyapproxmc will then only be available from with in WSL. In general, I can't really support Windows because I don't use it. However, pyapproxmc should work from both Linux and Mac.

Sorry for not supporting Windows. However, it may not be too hard to support it. If you send in a PR to fix it I'm happy to review and merge! I hope this helped,

Mate
