Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 redist install

[thefastman]

Some of packages does not work because of error: error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools

So, I've tried to install it with winetricks e.g: bash winetricks vcrun2015 but seems it does not work:

Any ideas ? Thanks.

Which packages? Is this specific to my docker image? If you need support with winetricks, I'd suggest to use their support channels.

hello, this happens with python modules like netifaces , there are no way to install vc_redist.x86.exe

[TobiX]

My containers are set up to RUN Python software, not BUILD them. Ask the maintainer of the package you try to use to provide wheels for Windows if you don't want pip to try building packages from source.

PS: For the specific case of netifaces: I'd suggest switching to netifaces2 or netifaces-plus, which are maintained and have wheels for current Python versions.
