PySide6 pyside-setup build

[fclushio]

Greetings!
I encountered minor problem while building.

I don't know how to fix it since I've provided all prerequisites mentioned in https://pypi.org/project/PySide6/

I have in path:
.../6.2.0/msvc2019_64/bin
.../libclang
Ran from Developer command Prompt for VS 2019

Hello, do you still need help now?

You seem to be using Windows. Maybe setting architecture environment will solve it?

Search for vcvarsall.bat and use it to initialize environment, before running anything:

path/to/vcvarsall.bat x64

You also need to do this when building qtbase (if you build it from source).

Though you have not encountered it yet, make sure your installed clang's architecture matches too. Otherwise, you may encounter lots of strange linker errors like "unresolved symbol __imp_xxxxx".

You can change x64 to some other architecture, but make sure the architecture is consistent.
