Build fails on Windows with Python 3.6

[supermihi]

The procedure described in the Readme for compiling on Windows leads to Unresolved reference errors when linking the pytaglib module.

Tried with both the VS 2017 and VS 2015 compiler. I am not a Windows user, any help on this is appreciated!!

1. First, you'll need:
   a) Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition. In the installation process, be sure to enable C/C++ support. https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
   b) Install cmake software https://cmake.org/download/ Choose installer for windows.

2. Download
   a) https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytaglib
   b) http://taglib.org/ . Select http://taglib.org/releases/taglib-1.11.1.tar.gz
   Create a folder for pytaglib and uncompress pytaglib on it.
   Do the same with taglib, choose somo other subdir

3. On Start Menu, go to All Applications, Visual Studio C++ Build Tools, choose
   "Visual C++ 2015 x64 Native Build Tools Command Prompt"

4. Change dir to taglib dir, put

cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=".\taglib-install"
msbuild INSTALL.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release
set TAGLIB_HOME=C:\Path\To\taglib-install
TAGLIB_HOME must be set to an absolute path

5. Change dir to pytaglib dir, and put

python.exe setup.py build
python.exe setup.py install

Thanks a lot, it worked for me and I've uploaded a new wheel for windows/CPython3.6/amd64. Will try to make another one for x32.

No clue why this did not work last time I tried, because your steps appear to be exactly the same as in the README file of this repository ... anyway, thanks again for your help! 🥇
