I have Anaconda version custom and python 3.9.16 installed. Kindly help.

In setup.py from line 38 you have the cmake_args list. For my specific installation on Windows I substituted get_config_var('LIBDIR') with C:\\Users\\krist\\anaconda3 for my specific example then Setuptools could find the correct directory for Python.

@kristianQh
thanks.

I tried your method and got LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python38.lib'.

Is the Path to be replaced not a Lib under a directory in a particular Anaconda environment, for example?

e.g. C:\Users\username\anaconda3\envs\diffvg\Lib

[kristianQh]

@KeitoTakaishi
No problem. Yes, the path to be replaced could indeed be a LIB under a directory for the environment. I just tried using a specific Anaconda environment with the name diff-env for my case and to fix the problem above I replaced it with: 'C:\\Users\\username\\anaconda3\\envs\\diff-env' which fixed it. However, keep in mind that even though you fix this specific error the setup will probably not run smoothly afterward (depending on whether you are compiling for GPU or CPU)

I have the same problem (Windows 11) and I changed that line like that:
cmake_args = ['-DCMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY=' + extdir, '-DPYTHON_LIBRARY=C:\\ProgramData\\anaconda3', '-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH=' + include_path]
But now instead of the error above I am getting
CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
