Root Cause

pip attempted to build a wheel in an isolated environment but failed because the build dependencies specified in pyproject.toml are not available or cannot be installed, often due to network issues or missing system libraries.

generic

中文

pip 尝试在隔离环境中构建 wheel，但失败，因为 pyproject.toml 中指定的构建依赖不可用或无法安装，通常是由于网络问题或缺少系统库。

Workarounds

  1. 85% success 
    Install build dependencies manually: pip install build, then run python -m build to see detailed errors, and install missing system packages (e.g., libffi-dev, python3-dev).
  2. 75% success 
    Use a pre-built wheel if available: pip install --only-binary :all: some-package.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    Requires build dependencies to be already installed in the current environment; often they are not, leading to different errors.

  2. 80% fail

    Does not resolve missing system libraries or network issues.
