Windows installation failure

[alaut]

After having install MSVC Build Tools and executing the following installation command:

pip install PyHEADTAIL

I am confronted with the following error message:

I was able to correct this by cloning the repository locally and executing:

pip install .\PyHEADTAIL

after having commented out 4 instances of libraries=["m"], in the .\PyHEADTAIL\setup.py

Thanks for your comment, @michuschenk and @like2000 might be able to comment on this from previous Windows experience.

Hi, you need to replace one word in the setup.py.
MS Studio variant of "m" lib is "msvcrt"
libraries=["m"] -> libraries=["msvcrt"]
