This line introduced a breaking change. Although theoretically removing the dynamic library should behave as the same, it threw an error that was really hard to find (since it's the error is new and google not indexing it).

Expected behavior

  1. It should warn instead of raising an error
  2. More informative error message

How to Reproduce

  1. Use setuptools with MingW
  2. Add dynamic library

Output

don't know how to set runtime library search path on Windows
