Hi,

I received following trying to install cysignals in Python 3.12.2 on Windows 11:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for cysignals
Failed to build cysignals
ERROR: Could not build wheels for cysignals, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects
PS C:\Users\Admin\cysignals> python --version
Python 3.12.2

Of course I tried it at first with

pip install cysignals

It is the same error.

In my PATH variable I set:

... C:\Program Files (x86)\Pari64-2-15-5;C:\cygwin64;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;C:\TDM-GCC-64\bin;C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.12_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python312\Scripts;

Installing Cython worked well. And off course the PATH and installations in the paths above exists.

Thanks in advance

I looked into the .toml file on github and I have both setuptools and Cython libraries installed already and I also tried installing the wheel library to no avail.
