Compile Error on Win 7 x32 bit, Python 2.7

[ShadowVariable]

At first I was getting the "unable to find vcvarsall.bat" error, and after fixing that, I tried pip installing streql and got this error:

I'm having this issue as well. Tried compiling with MSVC 8, 9, and 10. No dice. Have spent a ton of time trying to get it working.

[dineshkrishnareddy]

@BCollura : how did u do that tell us, i am also facing the same problem

[PeterScott]

I honestly have no idea what's up with this. The errors don't make much sense, and as I have no access to MSVC, I'm not sure what to do about this. Do any of you guys know what's up with MSVC?

Same error on Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit, running Python 3.4.2.

[garett]

The issue is the code uses C99 style variable declarations, which is only supported in Visual Studio 2013+. We got around this by downloading the code, modifying it, compiling and installing it manually.

I'm still having this issue and unable to use bigcommerce python library because install requires streql.

I was able to instal the bigcommerce python library by editing their install.py file to remove streql from the dependencies.
