Unable to install on WSL or Windows (tried the approach from the previous issue)

[CharlieDerby]

I believe I'm having similar troubles to the person who posted this issue. I tried doing things the way they did in the end to get it working but I still end up with an extremely long and dense error message.

As they did, I have attached the log obtained by the command CXX_FLAGS="-stdlib=libc++" OPTIMIZATION_CXX_FLAGS="" pip install tomographer --verbose > log.txt

log.txt

I have also attached the full error test I get when attempting to install.

tomographer_full_error_msg.txt

Obviously this is quite long but I think an important part is toward the start where it says

The 'tomographer' python package requires some settings for compiling the C++
modules. You may need to specify them with the use of environment variables.
Current values (detected or specified manually) are:

PYBIND11_CPP_STANDARD=None
OPTIMIZATION_CXX_FLAGS=-UNDEBUG -march=native -O3
CXX_FLAGS=-fvisibility=hidden

Hi, thanks for reporting. It looks like the compiler isn't happy with something in the C++ code, but looking up the code location specified in the error I can't immediately see what could be wrong. What's the version of the compiler you're using? (It looks like /home/charlie/anaconda3/envs/tomographer/bin/x86_64-conda-linux-gnu-cc --version should reveal that.) Is it an option to use a different C++ compiler or compiler version? You can try to specify the compiler using a command of the type CC=path-to-conda/bin/gcc CXX=path-to-conda/bin/g++ pip install tomographer.

Did you try installing the 'gcc' and 'libgcc' conda packages (as described here)? If yes and it didn't work, did you also try to compile tomographer without those packages installed? It's been a little while I haven't compiled this project with different compilers and environments, so depending on how conda, pip, etc. have evolved, the README might be a bit out of date. Let me know what ends up working :)
