Use the Package in Windows 64 Bit Environment

[Rolleroo]

Hi,

I'd really like to use this module in a Windows 64 bit environment. I notice it's 64 bit Linux only in Conda. Any pointers on how I could port it to Windows.

Apologies if this question seems stupid. I have only started using python in the last few weeks!

All the best,
Rolleroo

Hi,

Yes, that's correct, I never built for Windows since I don't have access to a Windows computer. However, running "python3 setup.py install" should work even on windows if you have a compiler installed (if you want to use the python bindings). If there are any issues we should probably patch them and add e.g. AppVeyor to the list of CI services to ensure continued support for windows.

And, no, I don't find it stupid at all, we've all been there, it's always super confusing starting to work with a new language, tools and all that goes along with it.

All the best,
Björn

Thanks. I'm using Pycharm and will try to get it going on this and get back to you.

Let me know if there is anything you need to know.

Hi Björn

I got back round to this and have installed the most recent version of Visual Studio C++, VSDetails.txt for info.

I also had to install Cython with Pip, which doesn't appear to come as standard in my Python/PyCharm (Python 3.8.1) install. The code at least gets a bit further now but drops a few errors and aborts. I have tried installing in the command line and the Pycharm virtual environment with the same results.

The path names don't seem right in the log.txt (/ and \ seem doubled or mixed up) but I can't see what is going wrong.

As always any help is much appreciated :)

Hi Björn, did what I should have done at the start and set up a virtual Linux installation. Much easier! Thanks for your help again:)
