Install Slycot on Windows 10 failing
- I tried to install Slycot on Windows 10, Python 3.7.6 (regular Python, not Conda) with the following commands, as suggested in the installation instructions for the Python
controlmodule:
python -m pip install -U pip
python -m pip install slycot
- The Slycot installation instruction failed, suggesting that
nmake/Ninja couldn't be found, and I should install Visual Studio 2022 - I installed Visual Studio 2022 Community edition, tried again and got the same error message
- I then installed "C++ CMake tools for Windows" from "Tools > Get Tools and Features... > Individual Components" in Visual Studio
- (side note: requiring me to install Visual Studio and then C++ CMake tools for Windows required about 5GB of disk space, which I would say is the opposite of lightweight - isn't there any way this module can be installed from pip using just a standard C/C++ compiler such as MinGW and CMake? For me this would make Slycot a lot more lightweight and the installation process a lot smoother)
- After installing "C++ CMake tools for Windows", I got the (very verbose) output shown below when running
python -m pip install slycot - What should I do in order to get the build working?
> python -m pip install slycot
