I am using GNU bash on Windows 10, version 4.4.23(1)-release (x86_64-pc-msys). So I have read all the resources and installed all the tools from VS Build Tools, added the /ucrt folder to my bash path and it DOES include io.h file. I tried with multiple version of Windows SDK, they all have the io.h file. I am using Anaconda version of python, Python 3.6.6 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit), to use cythonize package and I don't know what to do. I feel like its an issue where anaconda is communicating with bash but doesn't know where to look for the io.h file. Shouldn't it just look for it in my path? It works on Windows CMD but not in bash.
Here is output from console and here is my path:
bioinformatics$ cythonize -b taxcode.pyx
