after watching a tutorial on facial recognition with Python, I managed to write w working program on my Linux laptop. Today I was trying to do the same thing on my Windows 10 PC but I keep getting errors when trying to install DLib from the source code using:
python setup.py install
The error message that I get goes like this:
running install

I have VS 16 2019 installed and I installed CMake both using the Windows installer and from the VS tools. I know that the problem is with the compiler but how do I install one and point CMake to it?
