Installation issue

[mcdoans]

Hi @jove1, this is such a nice project! But I am still stuck as I wonder if I missed something in the installation.
I converted to python2, installing numpy scipy matplotlib, and it demanded C ++ 9.0 before i encountered this error.

please advise, thank you.

I never tried compiling this on windows.
The error message says it needs numpy/arrayobject.h, indeed you need numpy development files.
On linux I would try to pass CFLAGS=-I/path/to/numpy/header/files environment variable.
I don't know what is visual c equivalent.

Myself, I've cross compiled the c module on linux. It has been painful to setup and I don't have the setup anymore.
For windows installs I use binary package. Its not up to date, but there were no changes in c module.
I just replace the python files with new versions.

Anyway the project is in need of some serious maintenance, which now I don't have time to do:
python3
get rid of bloated askc dependencies
find a portable way to distribute optimized code (maybe numba.jit instead of c module)
