Hi,

I am trying to build lxml 4.2.1 from source with Python 3.7.4 (amd64) and Visual Studio 2015.

Build command is

python setup.py build --static-deps

I get the error below. Any ideas as to what is going wrong? I am going to try a later version of lxml to see if that fixes the problem. I was trying 4.2.1 first as that is what we use for the other platforms we are using.
