Python Qpid Proton dependency build error on Windows

I have a project requiring me to build Python backend locally so I can work on frontend (Angular).

Python project has a dependency, python-qpid-proton v0.33.0, which fails to build.

I'm using the command: pip install -e . to install the dependencies.

I've reinstalled Visual Studio 2022 with full C++ development support required to run it, but the dependency build fails anyway, with the following error:

Running setup.py install for python-qpid-proton ... error

However, cloning the qpid-proton repository from GitHub and following instructions to install using Python, CMake, Swig and Visual Studio works fine and the projects builds binaries without a problem, and deploys them in C:\Program Files (x86)\Proton...

I've tried running as my user (who is Admin), and running in Powershell as Administrator, same error appears. Same erros appear in Git Bash, CMD, Powershell, both as user and as Administrator.

Any idea why the build fails?

The error c1083 is pretty generic and just means that the compiler could not find the file it was looking for. In your case, the file name is empty. The file name is empty because it exceeded the limit of what is allowed by the compiler (probably around 255 characters).

See here for more discussion: https://githubhot.com/repo/MicrosoftDocs/cpp-docs/issues/3336

In our case, we resolved the issue by changing the temporary directory where pip builds the files. Since this was Windows, we used set TMPDIR=c:\tmp and then ran pip install python-qpid-proton. The files then compiled correctly and the package was installed.

Hope this helps...
