Failure to install on Windows 10 - 'clips.h' error

[dustintd]

I've tried installing on Windows 10 Pro with python 3.7 and I'm getting the following error:

build\temp.win-amd64-3.7\Release\_clips.c(523): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'clips.h': No such file or directory

I've tried using both Visual Studio Build Tools for 2015 (v14.00) and 2019, and both give me 'clips.h' error.

Also, the pypi link doesn't seem to show any wheels for windows? (If I'm wrong here let me know)

https://pypi.org/project/clipspy/#modal-close

Any advice or tips on how to solve this? I'd prefer to not install from scratch.

Hello,

I have not yet build CLIPSPy 0.3.3 for Windows as the last version includes changes related to Linux build only.

You can install the previous version of CLIPSPy which has Windows wheels as well.

pip install clipspy==0.3.2

Thank you for the quick response! I've got it working with that version.

As said, the newer version does not bring any change for Windows. I will try to make soon a release to fix this issue but it's not an urgent matter.

@noxdafox no~~~~ By the way don't forget it

I'm using python 3.8 on Windows 10 and i can't install clipspy. I'm getting the same error as @dustintd but help provided does not help, I've tried to install clipspy 0.3.0, 0.3.1, 0.3.3 (0.3.2 is not available for me) and didn't work:
