| This document describes how to build a native Python source package. |
| This can be used to install the Python bindings via pip. |
| |
| First configure the project using 'cmake' then build it. You do not |
| need to install the project. See the INSTALL.md file at the project's |
| top directory for details on building. |
| |
| Once you have built the project, there should be a 'dist' directory in |
| the Python bindings directory in the build directory. |
| |
| For example, assuming the build directory is named 'build': |
| |
| $ cd build/python/dist |
| |
| You can now run the setup.py script from within the dist directory to |
| build your source distribution package. |
| |
| To build a Python source distribution: |
| |
| $ python ./setup.py sdist |
| |
| To build and install: |
| |
| $ python ./setup.py build install |
| |
| |
