Describe the bug

I am currently following the guide on building from source to create an editable build of scikit-learn. However, I encountered some errors during the process. Any help is highly appriciated.

Steps/Code to Reproduce

pip install wheel numpy scipy cython meson-python ninja
$env:DISTUTILS_USE_SDK = "1"  
& "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64
pip install --editable . --verbose --no-build-isolation --config-settings editable-verbose=true 

Expected Results

No error is thrown.

@jeremiedbb might have an idea here. I don't have/use windows. If you're trying to contribute to the project from windows, we strongly recommend using WSL2.

It might also be an issue with pip since yours is old.

I've upgrade the pip and rebuild it, but get same error.
