I (Windows 10) am trying to building pybox2d from source using these instructions

What I did:

Install MinGW and MsyS from here. (Installed mingw-developer-toolkit, mingw32-base, mingw32-gcc-g++, msys-base)
Download SWIG from here, unpacked it, and added it to my environmental variables.
cloned the repo
When I run python setup.py build I get an error

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools

I have however installed Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC

And looking at Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features I see that it is installed. (?)

What am I doing wrong?

The _redistributables_ have nothing to do with installing visual studio - installing them doesn't install visual studio. They exist to let people _run_ apps built with visual studio. – Mike Vine Jul 09 '18 at 21:04
What should I install then? – Toke Faurby Jul 09 '18 at 21:05

Do what the error tells you to do? "Get it with < LINK > " – Dave S Jul 09 '18 at 21:05
The link http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools doesn't work – Toke Faurby Jul 09 '18 at 21:06

Actually you need either mingw or vc++, not both. – user7860670 Jul 09 '18 at 21:12

Try here instead: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ – drescherjm Jul 09 '18 at 21:15

Someone should complain to the developers that the URL has changed (if there is not a bug report already). – drescherjm Jul 09 '18 at 21:17

Try: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50671800/7976758 that seems to help - some components should be added during installation - not only default ones – Alexander Chervov Jul 22 '18 at 06:23
