This currently fails as csparse cannot be found. Note that the last version of suitesparse on Windows is very old, see conda-forge/suitesparse-feedstock#51 (but it seems feasible to build as that's what they do in cvxopt)

Bump! @traversaro is this doable?

[traversaro]

As reported in conda-forge/suitesparse-feedstock#51 updating suitesparse on windows seems doable, however I do not have direct interest on doing this at the moment, so I can't work on this myself. If anyone wants to volunteer to work on this I would be happy to advise and help.

Ok, actually there was no need to update suitesparse, the fix necessary to find suitesparse was just SteveMacenski/slam_toolbox#699 .

I looked a bit on the remaining failure, but it seems that the package requires several changes to build on Windows, see https://github.com/SteveMacenski/slam_toolbox/pull/440/files . However, to correctly support stack_size_to_use parameter, it is necessary to do some further changes, described in SteveMacenski/slam_toolbox#439 (comment) . At the moment I do not plan to work on this, but if anyone wants to work on it I will be happy to advice and/or help.

It also necessary to have compatibility with the latest ceres, but this is given by SteveMacenski/slam_toolbox#687 .
