Windows install problem

[lvyipeng]

I wanted to install pyds9 under Anaconda( python 3), however, when I input
pip install pyds9
something wrong happened as following:
Failed building wheel for pyds9 Running setup.py clean for pyds9 Failed to build pyds9 Installing collected packages: pyds9 Running setup.py install for pyds9 ... error Complete output from command f:\anaconda3_5\python.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='C:\\Users\\lenovo\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-install-ajb8bvue\\pyds9\\setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record C:\Users\lenovo\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-record-_tez5m62\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile: running install running build running build_py ... error: can't copy 'xpa\libxpa.dll': doesn't exist or not a regular file

The current master doesn't build on Windows. Version v1.8.1 should work.

I have tried to fix the compilation for quite some time in PR #63 , but I don't have windows and I have don't know how to solve the problem. I tried to do get somewhere using Appveyor, without success.

I have the same error on Ubuntu 18

I tried to install the package in ubuntu and it worked. However, it does not work in windows. I install the most updated version. The error is the same as lvyipeng's

Is this error resolved?

We no longer have anyone with Windows experience to support the Windows version. PRs are welcome!

I'm having the same exact problem in Windows 10. I tried using pyds9 v.1.81 with the same problem.

The current master doesn't build on Windows. Version v1.8.1 should work.
