I get the following error when trying to install qdldl on Windows 10 (Python 3.10.2):

It seems the process looks for Visual Studio 2015 build tools. Is it really necessary to downgrade to Visual Studio 2015 to build qdldl?

    @RoyiAvital

    Any chance having a pre built wheel for Python 3.12 on Windows?

    Currently CVXPY is failing: cvxpy/cvxpy#2269.
