RuntimeError: Attempted to compile AOT function without the compiler used by numpy.distutils present. Cannot find suitable msvc.

[victorcsc123]

When i run python manage.py preparetracker, I encounter
RuntimeError: Attempted to compile AOT function without the compiler used by numpy.distutils present. Cannot find suitable msvc.
I already installed visual studio 2019 C++, what else can I do?

[manishs17]

@victorcsc123 , can you verify if it exists

[victorcsc123]

Yes, when I use developer command prompt and I type cl, I have exact the same as you have shown

[manishs17]

can you install Build tools,

Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019

you can find that in this page,
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
scroll down until you see Tools for Visual Studio under the All downloads section and select the download for Build Tools for Visual Studio.

[victorcsc123]

Yes, I installed visual studio 2019 building tool and tick the C++box to install

[victorcsc123]

I try to uninstall and reinstall many times, still failed to run. The error keep appearing. Do I miss some path so that numba can't recognise the compiler?

[victorcsc123]

I use this link to install
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/zh-hant/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools&rel=16

[manishs17]

okay, I hope you have python 3.6 and correct numba version.
can you try to execute python manage,py preparetracker from VS Developer command prompt ?

[victorcsc123]

Yes, I type python --version. It said 3.6.0. and I have run that in vs developer too. Still failed. May be its my computer's problem. But this problem makes me sad, sigh......

[manishs17]

try with docker.

How can I completely develop the docker image/container?

[manishs17]

Docker should just work fine, it installs g++ .

use power shell.
Install docker desktop on your windows machine, cd to the cloned directory and execute. docker-compose build , it would build your image using docker-compose.yml and start the container

[victorcsc123]

Thank you so much for your reply. I am so sorry to bother you. Although I successfully launch the web, but it always said fail to upload. I am not sure if it is due to the fact that when I run docker, it stopped at 18/23
