I am trying to get quickfix to install as a python module. The repository at UC Irvine seem no longer to be viable. I am, unfortunately, not expert in python. I have tried several methods, but all fail. I will include the messages below.
Note: I have set up an environment using conda python 3.7.10
Note that in many of the posts, there is reference to a repository at UC Irvine to different install versions. This repository apparently is no longer available, so perhaps simply finding the different install versions would be a good place to start, but I cannot find them. I also wnet through a length vcpkg installation, but the python environment does not see it. Thanks for any help!
I tried the following: pip install quickfix==1.15.1 the following message occurs:
pip install quickfix==1.15.1

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

error: legacy-install-failure
Encountered error while trying to install package.
quickfix
note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for output from the failure.
The fix to this problem was actually very simple. I had set up a separate environment with Python 3.7 in which to install quickfix. The problem was that, when I activated that environment in the usual way, it actually was NOT the active environment. I activated and double checked that it was the active environment, and then everything installed just fine.
