How to install pillow on pypy

Question

How do I install pillow on Windows pypy with png support.

I tried

pypy -m pip install --use-wheel pillow

This does not find a wheel file (for pypy), so it creates pillow, but does not include png support because it does not find zlib.

I don't want to modify the setup.py, because I want to do this on multiple machines.

I managed to install Pillow on pypy3.8 by adding the ZLIB_ROOT environment variable. I'm using vcpkg where the include, lib folders are at C:\Code\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows, and I set ZLIB_ROOT to C:\Code\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows as well. And then everything works with pip install Pillow.

You mentioned you didn't want to edit the setup.py file, but actually it was a good idea to read that file, because the answer was located in that file.
