SMAC3 version 1.4 working in windows 10

[carlosricardocm]

Description

HI, for all you guys that want to use this library in Windows, I succesfully install it in Windows 10 and 11.

Steps/Code to Reproduce

The steps for install it are as follows:

1. Create an environment with
   conda create -n SMAC python=3.9.7 (but also could work with python 3.10)

2. Install swig version 4.1.1 and add to path globally
   http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/swig/swigwin-4.1.1.zip

3. Install m2w64-gcc as compiler
   conda install -c conda-forge m2w64-gcc

4. Install smac ver. 1.4 with pip (version 2.0 won't work)
   pip install smac=1.4

5. Search where pip installed smac ( with $pip list -v you could find where is installed, in my case is in d:\anaconda3\envs\audio\lib\site-packages ) and in the source code
   search for string dates changing colons for hypens (because in windows is imposible create folders o files that contains colons )

Expected Results

Libary working in Windows 10

Actual Results

I succesfully run examples of optimization using the following libraries:

from ConfigSpace import Configuration, ConfigurationSpace, UniformIntegerHyperparameter, UniformFloatHyperparameter
from smac.scenario.scenario import Scenario
from smac.facade.smac_bb_facade import SMAC4BB as BBFacade
from smac.facade.smac_hpo_facade import SMAC4HPO as HPOFacade
from smac.initial_design.default_configuration_design import DefaultConfiguration

Versions

smac 1.4

I had no problems installing and using SMAC3 from the development branch on Windows 10 natively (i.e. no WSL2) -- with MSVC, not GCC.

In a Developer PowerShell from VS2019 Build Tools, Python 3.10 conda environment (full Anaconda distribution, not miniconda, no idea if that matters):

& 'C:\Users\USER\anaconda3\shell\condabin\conda-hook.ps1'
conda activate my-env
conda install swig
git clone https://github.com/automl/SMAC3
cd SMAC3
git checkout development
pip install .

(I also installed stable 2.0.2 while troubleshooting something else, but didn't really try running it, so can't confirm whether that works.)
