[Simonhong111]

hello, thanks for your code and i am trying to run your code ,however,when i complie the lib,i found that i met the error that the pyhon had no Miscrosoft Visual c++9.0,then i install the package by the guide ,but i met another error that python couldn't find the # stdbool.h,3Q for your help

[Simonhong111]

Have you solved the problem?

[Simonhong111]

Yes ，I have. you can use vs 2013 ,however you should set your VS90COMNTOOLS your own address like E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\ then your complier will use vs 2013 not vs 2008

You saved me. I've been banging my head without finding a solution before.

It didn;t work for me. I had the same problem as @Simonhong111 however pointing VS90COMNTOOLS to C:\Program Files x86\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\ did not solve the issue.

I solved it. What I said maybe amazing but it really works to me.

(1) Install VCForPython27.msi (2) Add VS90COMNTOOLS env var, and assign it D:\vs2015\Common7\Tools\ (maybe other version VS is also ok) (3) Run VCForPython27.msi again, choose remove.

Now run python setup.py install. It won't appear cannot find stdbool.h.

@zhonhel This method is worked for me.

@zhonhel also worked for me for setup.py and surprisingly setup_cuda.py also installed which had errors before this fix

@zhonhel thanks for help, it really works for me!! After remove "VCForPython27.msi", the error was gone =D

[AvaniPitre]

I am having same issue, followed steps by @zhonhel but, after I remove VCForPython27.msi, I get error for VS 2009 not found, Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27 For env variable VS90COMNTOOLS I set vs2010 path.

Who can help me ? I tried a lot of ways.

[zoufangyu1987]

I've done it, amending it as follows: find the file: .\Anaconda2\Lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py

Locate to line 304: VERSION = get_build_version() replace it with : VERSION = 12.0

Hi @zhonhel , I am unable to add vc90comntools env var. Could you please provide me steps to do that.
