Install error on Windows

[mcondor10]

Hi! I am trying to install the library on a conda environment inside Windows 11. But I get the following error:

Building wheels for collected packages: rlemasklib
  Building wheel for rlemasklib (pyproject.toml) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for rlemasklib
Failed to build rlemasklib
ERROR: Could not build wheels for rlemasklib, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I have tried the workaround suggested here which apparently worked. But when I try to import the library, I get the following error:

 File "C:\Users\~~~\~~~\~~~.py", line 6, in <module>
    import rlemasklib
  File "C:\Users\~~~\rlemasklib\rlemasklib\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from rlemasklib.rlemasklib import area, complement, crop, to_bbox, encode, ones, zeros, decode, decompress, \
  File "C:\~~~\rlemasklib\rlemasklib\rlemasklib.py", line 3, in <module>
    import rlemasklib.rlemasklib_cython as rlemasklib_cython
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rlemasklib.rlemasklib_cython'

I know the main issue is because of the compiling options for Linux, but the requirements that I have at the moment forces me to use Windows.
Any help solving this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Have you solved this @mcondor10 ? I'm also having trouble installing on Windows.
