pip install cocotb 要求我安装 Visual C++ 编译器

Question

我跟着 cocotb officials instructions 使用 miniconda3 在 windows 上安装了软件包，并且 :

conda install -c msys2 m2-base m2-make

但我因这个错误而被阻止:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for cocotb

我尝试使用全局选项：

pip install --global-option build_ext --global-option --compiler=mingw32 cocotb

完全相同的错误。

这似乎是验证器安装错误。我不需要 verilator，也许可以选择不安装它？

Answer 1

我终于在 msys2 上按照以下步骤安装了 cocotb。

下载并安装msys2。
更新 msys2 :

$ pacman -Syu
[close then re-launch terminal]
$ pacman -Su

安装 Gcc 和 git

$ pacman -S –needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
$ pacman -S git

安装 GHDL

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-ghdl-llvm

安装 gtkwave

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gtkwave

安装python3

$ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python-scipy mingw-w64-x86_64-python-matplotlib mingw-w64-x86_64-python-numpy
$ pacman -S --needed make mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-pip mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-setuptools mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-wheel

关闭终端，然后从 windows 开始菜单打开 «MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit»。
最后用 pip install 安装 cocotb :

$ pip install --no-build-isolation cocotb
$ pip install --no-build-isolation pytest
$ pip install --no-build-isolation cocotbext-axi

然后欣赏古典cocotb makefile to simulate VHDL with GHDL. And visualize vcd traces with gtkwave.

我在其他 windows 计算机上成功测试了此程序。

pip install cocotb 要求我安装 Visual C++ 编译器

pip install cocotb ask me for visual C++ compiler installation

python

windows

pip
