I spent a while trying to get things to work with cmake and pybuild, but struggled a bit with the interaction between pybuild, cmake, and distutils.
The challenge for me is that the cigi package isn’t a python extension; it’s a library that happens to include swig-generated python bindings. So I don’t want to manage the entire build using pybuild; I just want to use it to build the python extension. I tried using pybuild —build in just the one directory, but for whatever reason I was getting different behavior from pybuild —build than I was from python setup.py build . I haven’t given up on finding the right answer to this, but I didn’t want it to hold up a working solution for #743276 and #743275, so I went ahead and went with patches to call setup.py manually for python2 and python3 from cake. I’ll look forward to finding a better answer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
