I cheered too early. The UCRT issue is still there.

No, I can't. So if you could consider that and give it a try, that would 
be wonderful.


Actually, the makefile might fail with running setup.py. You will have 
to change bdist_wininst into bdist_egg. The newer versions of python no 
longer support creating a windows installer.

Alternatively, you will need to install the wheel package with pip and 
then use bdist_wheel.I actually think that would be the proper way to 
go, as wheel is now the start of the art format to install prebuidl 
Python packages.


Cheers,

Leonard
