I've been using the python module apriltag (found here https://pypi.org/project/apriltag/) on linux for a while, and need to move my system over to Windows. On my windows machine, I tried to install the apriltag pip package on python3.6:
python -m pip install apriltag
but the wheel failed to build, giving me a long error list in which I believe the key line is
Building Custom Rule C:/Users/xxxx/apriltag_3b8f424df9f543459d5bd3db09137d9f/core/CMakeLists.txt
cl : Command line error D8021: invalid numeric argument '/Wsign-compare'```
Worried that maybe the PyPI package didn't work on windows(?) I looked at the project that it was based on, found here https://github.com/swatbotics/apriltag. Cloning into it and building it with Visual Studio, the first build fails with
Error D8021 invalid numeric argument '/Wsign-compare'
I've looked on here for /Wsign-compare but have found no example of anyone even getting that error, let alone solving it. Let me know if there's a fix for it, or if this repo just isn't going to build on windows ever.
Thanks :)
EDIT: added entire python build log for context
python -m pip install apriltag
