[Windows][3.10] Insigtface building process - Error with building wheels

[noteMASTER11]

Sorry, but after ~3 hours of tries I'm really tired and ask kindly for help.

Software: Windows 11 23H2 22631.3880; Python 3.10; PyCharm 2024.1.4 RC2; vsBuildTools 17.10.5; cuda 11.8.0_552 Toolkit. Hardware: i9-11900K; 32 GB RAM; RTX 3080.

I did reboot after installing everything and before trying to install requirements. But:

ERROR: Failed building wheel for insightface
Failed to build insightface
ERROR: Could not build wheels for insightface, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I dunno what to do because I did everything that was advised before in the previous issues. I tried to do the same steps directly from the Terminal also, but nothing works for me unfortunately. The same error I've got on my M1 MacBook but I don't want to use it 'cause of the low GPU performance.

Please suggest what can I do with. Thanks a lot.

Did you install the Microsoft C++ Build Tools? I have the same issue as you, but after reading carefully the console for errors, I saw it requires that to build the insightface. After downloaded and install the build tool, run the command again and it should work.

Well... nobody loves to read what's written I suppose. Because 'vsBuildTools 17.10.5' in Software in my first message could tell more. For instance, that I'm not so stupid to create the repo Issue before checking everything and installing everything.

But, it's "Completed" without a chance to find a solution. OK.

This might help https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76739044/how-to-fix-this-issue-error-failed-building-wheel-for-insightface

But overall, the only reason I can think of is the similar answer of @phattran1023

Anyway, I'll reopen this for you as it seems you havent solved it yet.

When you install vs_Buildtools Select: Workloads → Desktop development with C++

Individual Components must be checked:

Windows SDK C++ x64/x86 build tools

Hope it helps. Cheers.

Hi @noteMASTER11 I have exactly same issue as yours on windows 10 and I've been struggling to resolve it. Did you have a chance to have it work around?
