how do I install pyjq on python running on windows?

See original GitHub issue

easy_install install pyjq doesn’t work (nor does pip). It appears to be attempting a unix-like build process on a windows machine.

Tried cross-compiling from a unix-like environment (OSX) and seemed to start working, but it gets hung up on a missing “processenv.h” which means I’ll need an updated version of mingw64 to get that header (or edit the code to not require that header). updated mingw on darwin has no autobuild, so I’ll have to rebuild my own.

So before I embark on this potentially multi-hour experiment of modifying the build code or recompiling my cross-compiler… has anyone already done this (install pyjq on Win-based python) and if so could you please advise?
