Fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: 'pyoctree/pyoctree.cpp'

[abgbaumann]

Good "morning",

I tried to install pyoctree on my Windows 10 computer and I received a fatal error C1083 where a cpp file is missing. Is this a known error or did I do something wrong?

Best,
Andreas

Good "evening" Andreas,

The pyoctree.cpp file is created from the pyoctree.pyx file using Cython. If you don't want to generate it yourself, download pyoctree from PyPi (i.e. download pyoctree-0.2.10.tar.gz from https://pypi.org/project/pyoctree/#files). It comes with the pyoctree.cpp file included. Note that the source files on Github do not come with this cpp file, as it is a generated file. My guess is that you downloaded pyoctree from Github, which is why it didn't work for you.

Or just download the wheel (if you are using Python 3.6 that is).

Cheers,
Michael
