Error - Conda Build Final Step - Windows x64

[bmcguirk]

Hi guys -

After laboriously installing Microsoft dev tools, I got this error on the very last step:

===== testing package: python-levenshtein-0.12.0-py34_0 =====
import: 'Levenshtein'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Anaconda3\conda-bld\test-tmp_dir\run_test.py", line 25, in <module>
    import Levenshtein
  File "C:\Anaconda3\envs\_test\lib\site-packages\python_Levenshtein-0.12.0-py3.
4-win-amd64.egg\Levenshtein\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from Levenshtein import _levenshtein
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
TESTS FAILED: python-levenshtein-0.12.0-py34_0

Any thoughts? It did look like it compiled successfully prior to this step.

Can you paste the full log prior to that, and check if the .dll file was indeed generated.

Ok, tried this again in a fresh directory. Here you go:

Reasonably certain is has to do with requiring 64bit Windows SDK, etc.

@ztane Any thoughts on this? Would love to get this installed properly.

Sorry, I am not developing on Windows. In any case, this seems not to be specific to Levenshtein; see for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13596407/errors-while-building-installing-c-module-for-python-2-7
