I have both Visual Studio 2017 Community and TDM-GCC both installed on my Windows 10 box. Everything is 64-bit. I've been trying to pip install pymqi, but so far I haven't had much luck.

Without going into too many irrelevant details, I'm trying to get it to use TDM-GCC instead of msvc to build the C components of this package. However, it keeps using msvc even though I don't have it set up in the command line environment I'm pip installing from (i.e. I didn't run the vcvars64.bat file). I do, however, have TDM-GCC in the PATH.

How does pip find the compiler? Is there some command line option I can specify to force pip to use a specific compiler?

You will need to configure it: Create distutils.cfg file in PYTHONPATH\Lib\distutils with this configuration:

[build] compiler=mingw32 You can see famous issue #18 for more info
