Describe the bug
When running Windows 11 and Python 3.8.10 attempting to install the latest version of faiss-cpu I get AttributeError: 'MSVCCompiler' object has no attribute 'compiler'
To Reproduce
pip install faiss-cpu
Expected behavior
faiss-cpu should be installed just fine.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Windows 11
- Architecture: x86_64
- Python: 3.18.10
- Version: 1.7.3
Additional context
I can resolve the problem by installing a previous version
pip install faiss-cpu==1.7.2
so it is not a blocker. I think I noticed on my other machine with Python 3.7 that faiss-cpu installed just fine without changing the version. I dont have it on hand to add any other details.
Can you post a complete log? Not sure if this is from a source package or a binary wheel.
