Hi list,
I try to write a cmake script for a python module. Its finally working
now, but the solution I came up with is not very nice.
1. Finding the correct python environment:
I have two python frameworks on my mac: Python2.5 which comes with OS
X, and python2.6 from macports. If I just use
FIND_PACKAGE(PythonInterp) and FIND_PACKAGE(PythonLibs) I end up
getting the python2.6 interpreter from macports but the python2.5 libs
from OS X.
I "solved" it by manually setting the path to python2.6 libraries and
headers in INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES but this is
quite ugly because it may break on another system wit a different path
prefix for macports.
Is there any way to set the desired python version for PythonInterp and
PythonLibs in cmake?
2. Renaming the library file:
This is probably very simple, but I startet wih cmake today: How do I
change the filename of my library/module? The module is called
libvlfeat.so, however python expects C modules to be named _<name>.so.
(In my case _vlfeat.so).
How do I do that?
3. Copy python files during installation
The python module needs some python files along with the compiled C
module. Currently, I just copy all the stuff using cmakes file()
command. That means, all files are created when the user types in
"cmake .". It would be better if the files would not be copied until
the user says "make install".
Is there a way that the "file()" commands are somehow converted to
similar commands in the makefile?
Thanks in advance,
Janosch
