same issue here

@tgalal any solution??? ;-)

@cesardmoro
edit your cygwinccompiler.py and download vcruntime140.dll and paste into pythonpath/libs

    with MSVC 7.0 or later.

[spanishkangaroo]

Even when it was asking for version 1916 in my case, I did what @Surya1995 said and it worked!!

[andreys42]

@spanishkangaroo code above cannot compile successfully because msc_ver == '1916' will raise ValueError, wont it?

[spanishkangaroo]

@andrey290494 no, it worked actually.

[andreys42]

@spanishkangaroo Hey, hello
What 'sys.version' returns you?
For me it's 3.7.4 (tags/v3.7.4:e09359112e, Jul 8 2019, 20:34:20) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)]'

[spanishkangaroo]

@andrey290494 I cannot reproduce it, as I completely wiped the environment some months ago... sorry... Anyway, if I were you, I would try with Docker image that I saw in dockerhub and that had everything set up.

[andreys42]

@spanishkangaroo I came here not because of troubles with yowsup installation. I have issues with installation of python packages with C++ dependencies at all.

[reituckmo]

@spanishkangaroo I came here not because of troubles with yowsup installation. I have issues with installation of python packages with C++ dependencies at all.

Me too. And after I change the code to msc_ver == '1916'， it works!

[P-Tanifor]

@Surya1995 I am trying to install hmmlearn and your post resolved the unknown MS Compiler verion 1916 error for me but I bumped into another error.
gcc: error: Unrecognized command-line option '-mcygwin'

help please.

[Surya1995]

@P-Tanifor bro its better to ask in hmmlearn.

@andreys42 @reituckmo thank you, but then you should create an issue in the corresponding repository, please. We should not load specific issues with rubbish from other non-related software.
