I am trying to build the 'nwalign' Python package on a 64-bit Windows with 64-bit Python version machine. (Package can be found here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/nwalign/?)
I tried building and installing using 'python setup.py install' the package both in Python 2.7 and 3.6 but I get the following linkage error (I've replaced some info by '...'):

I've tried directing my MSCV compiler to 64-bit using the appropriate bat-file but could not alleviate the issue. (I ran 'vcvarsall amd64' in the terminal for 'C:...\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ from Python\9.0')
The same issue and associated solution (Changing .def file and removing exports) brought up by another nwalign user here https://bitbucket.org/brentp/biostuff/issues/1/instalation-issue did not work for me as my build does not create a .def file, only a cnwalign.obj.
Any ideas?
