Installing PyMuPDF-1.17 on Windows

[Horsmann]

Hi,
I am trying to build PyMuPDF in version 1.17 on Windows (I have a hard dependency on this version) but I don't get it installed.
I read the various older issues about building against mupdf-1.17 but I didn't find my issue among the reported problems.

When running python setup.py build in PyMuPDF I get:

Creating library build\temp.win-amd64-3.7\Release\fitz\_fitz.cp37-win_amd64.lib and object build\temp.win-amd64-3.7\Release\fitz\_fitz.cp37-win_amd64.exp

.... endlessly long essentially every linking target is not found

Here is what I did so far which summarizes the details I found in the various location on the Internet:

• download mupdf-1.17
• copy _config.h into the fitz folder of mupdf-1.17 and replaced the config.h mupdf is shipping with
• Build mupdf in Visual Studio (Release version for win32 (x86) - succeeds without errors - this is the one I am using, x64 has some errors in the curl-library so I couldn't test it with x64)
• In PyMuPDF-1.17 setup.py set the installation paths for Windows to point to the include directory of mupdf
• In PyMuPDF-1.17 setup.py set the library directory to the Release output folder from building mupdf
• downloaded swigwin-4.0.2 and added it to my PATH

Is anything missing or did I overlook anything ? I don't figure out why I can't install this particular version.
Best,
