`LNK1104: cannot open file 'python3.lib'` in Windows Python 3.13 RC

[dofuuz]

Build fails when targeting ABI3 with Windows + Python 3.13.

OS: Windows
Python: 3.13.0rc1

   LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python3.lib' [D:\a\nanobind_example\nanobind_example\build\cp312-abi3-win_amd64\nanobind_example_ext.vcxproj]

python3.lib exists within Python libs folder.

More simple way to reproduce it from scikit-build-core example:

cd scikit-build-core\tests\packages\abi3_pyproject_ext
pip wheel -v .

Can you check if setup-python provides full dev packages in this case? Otherwise it could be some path escaping is not done properly in nanobind 🤷

@LecrisUT

I could reproduce it from local Windows PC, so it's not problem of setup-python.

And same error occurs in abi3_pyproject_ext example of scikit-build-core. So it's not problem of nanobind.

Oh, ok, let me add this to the test cases to try and reproduce here as well

[LecrisUT]

Still it is most probably a CMake issue, but I couldn't find any reports in the [upstream issues](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues. Managed to capture the test failure in tests\test_pyproject_abi3.py. I wonder if the issue is with Development.SABIModule because it seems the tests that don't use it did not fail 🤔

Even if it is, we likely can fix it via setting Python_SABI_LIBRARY. Edit: we do: https://github.com/LecrisUT/scikit-build-core/blob/20db5a527537ba4c14d09a62afd9122d7121a3e0/src/scikit_build_core/builder/builder.py#L207

Debugging in #865

[henryiii]

I have a feeling we are being affected by python/cpython#110049 combined with some logic issues, some of these variables were missing on Windows before.

[henryiii]

Looks like that fixes our tests, at least.

Should be fixed in 0.10.4!

Fix confirmed! Thank you 👍
