Not found the seal lib file, check the SEAL/build/lib

Type
Problem when setup with python.

Descripe
I have built SEAL in my PC, problem occured when I try to run the second command on CMD, which is "python setup.py build_ext -i". It said "Not found the seal lib file, check the SEAL/build/lib", although two files of "lib" were contained in my folder. Anyone met the same problem?

[Huelse]

Have you build the SEAL like this?

[Haonan009]

Have you build the SEAL like this?

Yes, I built SEAL through "VS 17 2022" generator. Should I select the "build" folder under "SEAL", or the one under "SEAL-Python", problem might occur in the path selection.

[Huelse]

Checkout the SEAL/build/lib/*.lib.

[Haonan009]

Checkout the SEAL/build/lib/*.lib.

It worked, seal was now in my site-packages. But it reported an error that "Cannot find reference 'scheme_type' in 'seal.py" when I ran "seal_helper.py". Please help me figure it.

[Huelse]

It haven't install yet, move the seal.*.pyd generated file to the examples folder.

[Haonan009]

Didn't work, sorry but what do you mean "It haven't install yet".

It haven't install yet, move the seal.*.pyd generated file to the examples folder.

It haven't install yet, move the seal.*.pyd generated file to the examples folder.

What should I do to install it?

[Huelse]

Can you show me your workspace? you don't need to install it as developing.

[Haonan009]

Already emailed.

[Huelse]

Copy the seal.cp37...pyd to yout workdir like examples and run the python3.7(py37) in same workdir will be work.

[Huelse]

Because you build the lib by the Python3.7, not 3.9 or else.

[Huelse]

This kind of basic programing problem I can't help you.

[Haonan009]

Sorry, I tried as you said, and it worked in the "examples" folder you've provided, but failed in my own folder whose .py file requied seal.
