It's looking for MSVC's compiler which is Distutils' default for the
Windows platform. To force the use of MinGW, pass --compiler=mingw32 to
your build command. You can force the MinGW compiler for all builds by
making a pydistutils.cfg file (see the Distutils documentation) with the
following section:

## pydistutils.cfg begin

[build]
compiler=mingw32

## pydistutils.cfg end
