git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText/
manually add this code: https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText/pull/1279/files
python setup.py install

SDAravind · 2023-08-02T14:44:51Z

Alteratively, you can try fasttext-wheel and see if it works for windows

pip install fasttext-wheel

sushil211289 · 2023-08-18T12:39:52Z

pip install fasttext-wheel

this will work, Thanks SDAravind

sgt390 · 2023-10-02T14:19:20Z

changing "fasttext" with "fasttext-wheel" in setup.py fixed the problem for me (manually installing fasttext-wheel was not enough)
