For anyone who's having this trouble, for me re-installing my VS2019 community & re-extracting the files fixed the issue (I had the problem with my already installed VS2019 - manually installing build tools did not work). When installing VS2019, make sure you tick the box 'desktop development with c++' under desktop/mobile section. And then follow the instructions using x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019.

This re-extracting the files worked for me. As of today I am on

Windows 11

Device name	WIN64G
Processor	AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics            1.80 GHz
Installed RAM	64.0 GB (63.3 GB usable)
System type	64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022 command line
File is from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip
After re-extracting the ta-lib folder, here is the console log worked for me
- C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc> nmake
- C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc> pip3 install ta-lib

@fuinyroot
I did the exact same as you did :

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. ERROR: Failed building wheel for TA-lib Failed to build TA-lib ERROR: Could not build wheels for TA-lib, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

not sure what it went wrong
now more than 3 hours trying to install pip install TA-lib , nothing is working...
