I am normally a cpython user, however I was tipped that PyPy is usually way faster. It was, but I eventually wanted to start making graphical programs, so I attempted to compile Pygame for PyPy the official wheels are not supported. I had a few problems getting to the point where it was actually compiling, but now I’m stuck on that step. This is the error output of running pypy -m pip install . (from the pygame wiki:

(Side-note: Earlier, the compilation script was pointing to the x86 linker when I’m on a x64 system. I fixed it by swapping the folders. Unorthodox, but it worked for me.)

Due to my limited knowledge of lower-down software, I do not know how to continue from here.
