Installation errors on Mac and Windows

[s3alfisc]

As a follow up to the issue I raised in the synthlearners repo.

When trying to install synthlearners on Mac or Windows, I get installation errors, both related to pyensmallen distributions.

On Mac, I get

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyensmallen (from synthlearners) (from versions: none)

while on Windows

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyensmallen (from synthlearners) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pyensmallen

On Pypi, there seem to be distributions for MAC(ARM) and Linux: link.

I can provide more details on the machines if you think it helps.

No problems running anything on Linux, fwiw =)

Here are reproducible CI runs on github machines: link. I can work this into a full PR if you are interested.

My windows info:

Python implementation: CPython
Python version       : 3.12.7
IPython version      : 8.29.0

Compiler    : MSC v.1941 64 bit (AMD64)
OS          : Windows
Release     : 11
Machine     : AMD64
Processor   : Intel64 Family 6 Model 142 Stepping 12, GenuineIntel
CPU cores   : 8
Architecture: 64bit

The github action CI run for mac does not fail.

thanks for the report ; can you pip install on mac and send me the entire stacktrace (i.e. run pip install -U pyensmallen > pyens.log and upload it here?). Not surprised about windows; I don't build windows wheels yet.

Hi, so I did what you suggested and did not get any output - just the error described above. Then I had a quick conversation with chatGTP and I have been told that there are no binaries available for intel chips, which seems confirmed when looking at the pypi release history: link. So my prior would be that everything should work with Mx chips.

ohh yeah i think intel mac's were giving me some grief in the build step so I excluded them from the list of platforms I build wheels for . I'll see if I can diagnose the problem later.
