How to slove this Q?

[NehKulkarni]

Download the pyFM project After installing Visual C++ Build Tools, do the following: Remove the parameter : libraries=["m"] in the setup.py file and save it Run the setup.py using : python setup.py install

It worked for me.. hope it helps! :)

need more details @NehKulkarni

[NehKulkarni]

@tiancaipipi110 Please make sure that your setup.py file looks like this:

setup( maintainer='Corey Lynch', name='pyfm', packages=find_packages(), url='https://github.com/coreylynch/pyFM', cmdclass = {'build_ext': build_ext}, ext_modules = [Extension("pyfm_fast", ["pyfm_fast.pyx"], include_dirs=[numpy.get_include()])] )

We just need to remove the libraries=["m"] parameter from it. Hope this helps! :)

@NehKulkarni For people coming from different languages - would be good if you could add more details like - where to edit this file or what is the location of this file?
