I keep getting this error. I have tried multiple other solutions on here but no luck. Am I missing something. Thanks
A crude method worked for me. Perhaps someone with knowledge can optimize the answer:
- Read the following article Link
- Mine is Python 2.7. I followed the article and installed the Visual
C++ compiler for python 2.7. Install
Link
- This installs a folder in your "%AppData%\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft".
- I copied the contents of
- "...\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\VC\include"to the "C:\Python27\include"
- "...\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\VC\lib"to "C:\Python27\libs"
- "...\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\WinSDK\Include" to "C:\Python27\include"
- "...\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\WinSDK\lib" to "C:\Python27\libs"
- I edited path in environmental variables to include these two directories ("C:\Python27\include" and "C:\Python27\libs". I think this step is not essential).
- Edit the "msvc9compiler.py" in the directory "C:\Python27\Lib\distutils"
- Line # ~270 hard coded link to "vcvarsall.bat" "%appdata%..\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\vcvarsall.bat"
- Line # ~394
os.environ['include'] = "C:\\Python27\\include"
- Line # ~396
os.environ['lib'] = "C:\\Python27\\libs"
- Line # ~402 hard coded the link to
self.cc = "...\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\VC\Bin\cl.exe"
(caution: it is \Bin and not \bin.)
- Line # ~403 Similar to above hard coded the link to self.linker.
Doing the above steps worked for me.
