Compiling python on windows with vs

[Jim Schwartz]

One expert told me to do the following when compiling via cython and cl:

cython -3 --embed -o c_file_name    python_file_name

Then, assuming python is installed in your apps directory and not your program files directory:

set "PYTHON_DIR=%LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python311" 

or whatever directory you put python in.

cl /O2 /I"%PYTHON_DIR%\Include" c_file_name  /link /libpath:"%PYTHON_DIR%\libs"

If that doesn't work, that's all I have.  Sorry.

Same problem at the same place: directory "../modules/..." not found, Renaming it from "Modules" to "modules" it is found, but then fails to find "Modules".

Looks like it awaits, compiling in Windows an filesystem only case aware, not case sensitive -- I'm assuming this a bug now. Building within cygwin (or MSYS, Ubuntu) this works as expected. But there it does not search for "modules" once and "Modules" at an other place.
