I'm not experienced with it either, but I'll take a shot in the dark
here. There is probably a more setuptools-ish way to do this, but this
seems to work.
Without really changing anything, bdist_egg works (once you fix
setup.py - the git repo is still referencing libgeos-3-0-0), but since
there are no extension modules, distutils doesn't know it has to use
the platform-specific filename.
An easy_install on the egg then works, but the DLLs are now installed
relative to the egg itself. I don't personally consider this a bad
thing, but geos.py needs to be updated to get the PATH set correctly:
elif sys.platform == 'win32':
try:
- local_dlls = os.path.abspath(os.__file__ + "../../../DLLs")
+ local_dlls =
os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "..\\DLLs"))
original_path = os.environ['PATH']
os.environ['PATH'] = "%s;%s" % (local_dlls, original_path)
_lgeos = CDLL("geos.dll")
Of course, this would now be the wrong path for users of the exe installer.
It might be simpler all around to just include the DLLs in the package
directory itself, maybe in a (platform-specific) subdirectory. I think
the egg and the installer would probably put them in the same place
then.
