Question
I am trying to install the snips-nlu package on a Windows 11 machine. After executing pip install snips-nlu it fails with the following error:

× Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.

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

Specs

• Windows 11 x64 21H2 (Build 22000.1817)
• Python 3.11.3
• pip 23.1.2
• rustc 1.69.0
• cargo 1.69.0

Steps to reproduce

1. python -m venv example
2. .\example\Scripts\activate.bat
3. pip install --upgrade pip
4. pip install setuptools_rust

(example) λ pip list
Package           Version
----------------- -------
pip               23.1.2
semantic-version  2.10.0
setuptools        65.5.0
setuptools-rust   1.6.0
typing_extensions 4.5.0

6. pip install snips-nlu

I tried the same steps without using a virtual environment with a clean Python 3.11.3, Python 3.9 & Python 3.8.9 installation. Unfortunately, same result :(

Getting this on Arch Linux using Python 3.11.3 as well. Ran python3 -m pip install setuptools-rust after which I got a unrelated error. Hopefully this helps someone in the future. Do keep in mind this repo looks abandoned now, so that might be another issue for the future.
