Could not build wheels for diff-gaussian-rasterization on Windows

[bill9109]

I have been encountering the 'Could not build wheels for diff-gaussian-rasterization' issue. I tried:

• Installing in the normal order.
• Installing according to environment.yml.

The result was the same in both cases.

So, I attempted to directly install from https://github.com/JonathonLuiten/diff-gaussian-rasterization-w-depth by using setup.py . Here is the error message I encountered:

E:\anaconda3\envs\splatam\lib\site-packages\torch\include\pybind11\cast.h(1429): error: too few arguments for template template parameter 'Tuple'
detected during the instantiation of class 'pybind11::detail::tuple_caster<Tuple, Ts...> [with Tuple=std::pair, Ts=<T1, T2>]'
(1507): here

E:\anaconda3\envs\splatam\lib\site-packages\torch\include\pybind11\cast.h(1503): error: too few arguments for template template parameter 'Tuple'
detected during the instantiation of class 'pybind11::detail::tuple_caster<Tuple, Ts...> [with Tuple=std::pair, Ts=<T1, T2>]'
(1507): here

2 errors detected in the compilation of 'rasterize_points.cu'.
rasterize_points.cu
error: command 'E:\anaconda3\envs\splatam\bin\nvcc.exe' failed with exit code 1

How can I resolve this issue?

#24 <--- solution in there

but I'm using a Windows, so maybe version problem with MSVC? VS2022, in my case.

Well, I'm not sure how to do it, but I might be able to fix this issue by replacing the file at E:\anaconda3\envs\splatam\Lib\site-packages\torch\include\pybind11\cast.h with the one from this URL: https://gist.github.com/johnbanq/f4e4e8ba9253ba0dc4e09ad0e0b73ebb.

Hi, we currently don't have good support for Windows. We are working on this (@JayKarhade).

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

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

How should I solve the error I encountered when executing pip install -r requirements.txt on Windows?
