I am encountering an issue when trying to install the lap==0.4.0 package in a Python 3.11 virtual environment. The installation fails with the following error:
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for lap
Running setup.py clean for lap
Failed to build lap
ERROR: Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects (lap)
What I’ve Tried:
-
Installing Visual Studio C++ Build Tools:
- I was suggested to install Visual Studio C++ which might resolve the issue. So, I installed the Visual Studio C++ Build Tools with all the required components for building C++ extensions (MSVC, Windows SDK, CMake tools, etc.). However, the error persists even after doing this.
-
Using the Correct Command Prompt:
- I used the “x86_x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022” to ensure the correct environment variables are set.
- I activated my virtual environment and attempted to install the
lappackage again but still faced the same error.
Environment Details:
- Python Version: 3.11 (installed in a virtual environment)
- Package to Install:
lap==0.4.0 - Operating System: Windows 11
- Visual Studio Version: Visual Studio 2022 with C++ Build Tools installed
- Virtual Environment Path:
D:\PyCharm\PyCharm_files\OBJECT DETECTION\venv
Question:
- Could this issue be related to compatibility between the
lappackage and Python 3.11? - Are there any known solutions or workarounds to resolve this installation error?
If anyone has encountered a similar issue or knows of a specific method to successfully build the package from the source, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Thank you.
