无法在 Windows 10 上构建 mod_wsgi - “无法打开包含文件：'ws2tcpip.h'” - 有 VS 2019 构建工具

Question

I have apache 2.4 installed (64 bit), python 3.7 (64 bit) (installed from Anaconda, if that matters) and VS 2019 C++ build tools, with the SDK and everything else required to build this checked. I still cannot build mod_wsgi with pip install. How can I get this to work on Windows 10?

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, python, visual studio & visual studio build tools, and apache. I have tried all the various visual studio command prompts. I have checked stack overflow, github, and other sites. There were others with similar issues but the solution of installing build tools did not work for me because a.) I already had it, b.) I reinstalled everything and it still didn't work.

pip install mod_wsgi

Resulting error message:

Answer 1

I just solved the same problem. My config is Windows 10, Python 3.8.1, Apache2.4.39-Win64-VC15-OpenSSL1.1.1b, mod-wsgi 4.7.1.

1) I installed using Build Tools

• Visual Studio Build Tools Main Components
• SDK for Windows 10 (10.0.18362.0) since I'm using Windows 10
• MSVC 140 - C++ VS 2015 (v.14.00)

2) Then I added C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin to PATH

3) Then I got the next error:

'apr_perms_set.h': No such file or directory'.

I downloaded the file and put it into $APACHE_DIR\include

4) Then I got third error:

fatal error LNK1158: cannot run ‘rc.exe’.
error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\VC\\BIN\\x86_amd64\\link.exe' failed with exit status 1158

I took following files rc.exe rcdll.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.18362.0\x86 and paste them into C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin

5) Congratulations!

Answer 2

To anyone who had this issue, the following github issue helped me resolve it: https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/issues/194

I had already installed Visual C++ Redistributable, so I was confused why pip install mod_wsgi still was not working.

All I ended up having to do was install Windows 10 SDK from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive/

(might also need 8.1 if it still does not work)
