Yeah me too. Anyone find a solution to this?

[timurgen]

Use g++ to compile it. MS compiler doesn't support -Wextra flag

[CheungClifford]

Could you elaborate more? as I m using pip install python-rocksdb

[fonty422]

Also having the same issue. A little more detail on the solution from @timurgen would be really helpful

[hanachaari]

It didn't work on windows11 no matter what. Better use a VM or WSL. I used WSL2 ,I did this and it worked :

sudo apt install rocksdb-tools librocksdb6.11 librocksdb-dev libsnappy-dev liblz4-dev then

pip install rockdb-py for further documentation check PiPY documentation (https://ps//pypi.org/project/rocksdb-py/)
