Issues installing python package on windows

I'm trying to install python-rocksdb on a windows 10 machine and I'm coming across some issues with the install.

I have successfully installed rocksdb first using the vcpkg method.

When running pip install python-rocksdb I get the following error:

cl : Command line error D8021 : invalid numeric argument '/Wextra'error: command 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Community\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.34.31933\\bin\\HostX86\\x64\\cl.exe' failed with exit code 2

Looking around suggested attempting to install with GCC or G++, so I downloaded cygwin and then attempted to install the python package usingpip install --global-option build_ext --global-option --compiler=cygwin python-rocksdb which yielded the following error:

gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mcygwin’error: command 'C:\\cygwin64\\bin\\gcc.exe' failed with exit code 1

This post seems to suggest that you need to use g++ specifically, but it looks like the cygwin command is defaulting to gcc.

Just note that I'm not using the virtual env with python.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
