It seems like your linker doesn't find python311.lib library.

LIB and LIBPATH are windows environment variables which are being used by the linker and compiler.

In which folder do you have python311.lib on your computer?

please confirm that LIB environment variable include the path for the python311.lib

If it didn't solve your problem - try adding python27.lib path also to LIBPATH

After I added the environment variable

$Env:LIBPATH="C:\Softwares\Python311\libs"
$Env:LIB="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.39.33519\ATLMFC\lib\x64;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.39.33519\lib\x64;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\lib\10.0.22621.0\ucrt\x64;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\\lib\10.0.22621.0\\um\x64;C:\Softwares\Python311\libs"
