sdl2 setup,py install

Hi, I follow instruction to install sdl2, but have files can't be found issue. Did I miss something? The python is 2.7.11 in windows 10. Below is the message from system. Thanks.

C:\pygame_sdl2-2.1.0a2016.06.04>python setup.py install

Yes, it looks like you don't have the windows dependencies present.

Thanks. It should not have this kind of thing, because it always updating by itself. I never have this experience. I will try to figure out what's happened on windows 10 and update again if there is correct answer.
BTW, if back to windows 7 with pygame_sdl2, is it better than Win10 now or do you have any advice if this issue can't be solved?

I'm in the same situation, I had cloned the pygame_sdl2_windeps repo in the same parent folder where I previously cloned the pygame_sdl2 repo, when I run the setup command:
python setup.py install
I got the similar windowsError : [Error2] the system cannont find the file specified

I figured out how to install the lib by using the nightly build source.

Hi I'm also having this problem and I have tried using the nightly build but that hasn't worked either. Could someone please explain what I should do to resolve this?
