I'm trying to install gevent on Windows. In order to do that, I've downloaded and compiled libevent, then I run pip install gevent and get an error: Please provide path to libevent source with --libevent DIR. How can I pass the libevent option to setup.py using pip?

Thanks in advance, Ivan.

UPD: running pip install gevent --install-option="--libevent path_to_libevent" gives the same result.
