windows installation

First of all, thank you for the contribution. This was exactly what I was looking for.
Can someone please help me with this problem:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 73, in <module>
    library_dirs.append(os.path.dirname(libmatches[0]))
IndexError: list index out of range

Thanks for the report.

This suggests that either the LIB environment variable is not set or boost_container.lib cannot be found in that path. Either LIB should be set to include the path or paths to a working copy of boost_container.lib in a ; separated list or Boost should be installed somewhere. So please double check these things.

Alternatively we provide prebuilt conda packages through conda-forge. More details on how to install at the rank_filter feedstock. Should you wish to build the conda packages from source. Please see the recipe directory in the feedstock.

Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

Thank you for the reply. I was able to add those environment variables and now I am stuck in another point.

It would be realy great if you support wheels, they just simplify so much the dependencies problems.

The conda solution woul work great, but my project is in a pipenv, is there a way to install conda packages in a pipenv virtual environment?

Thanks a lot for the help :)

Are you using Setuptools? Do you have Cython installed? The error is complaining about not having Cython basically.

[ricardomga]

I have cython installed, I installed it from Pypi.
Could you please generate the whl, with all the dependencies?
I am sorry for disturbing, but I am a python begginer and packaging and managing dependencies is still a bit hard.

Is there a way to generate a wheel file from a conda package?

Unfortunately I don't have regular access to a Windows computer. :(

Have been in discussions with conda-build and conda-forge about how to better support wheels either via conversion or building them alongside conda packages. Though there are some technical challenges that would need to be addressed.

If you're able to use the conda package, that's the easiest way forward ATM.
