need to change something with linux

[Tieqiong]

windows still producing wheels that lack proper dll. It seems like the problem is not about installing with conda or vcpkg

thanks for the hard work on this @Tieqiong

@sbillinge

Very weird. It was giving that dll error on Friday but when I randomly try it again it's working. It would be nice if we can test the windows wheel on your machine. You can grab it by going into the wheel builder action job (windows-latest with the right python version) and there will be a GitHub link under Run actions/upload-artifact@v4. Download the file and run pip install diffpy.pdffit2-0.0.1-cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl (taking the py3.12 one as example), then conda install pytest and pytest. Thanks

otherwise the Mac (arm version, don't have an intel m1 to test on) and linux wheels are good

[Tieqiong]

Tested with a windows VM and it's still showing the error. Will figure it out

[Tieqiong]

This is ready, just need someone test the wheel for Intel Mac (intel M1, using the macOS-13 wheel).

Tested arm Mac on M2, linux on ubuntu 24.04, Windows on Windows_Server-2022.
