Sample media-libs/zxing-cpp ebuild with tests and python bindings
QA imperfect python multi-target ebuild |
||
I also made an attempt at this today, but I've decided to give up for now and use pip in a virtualenv after sinking too many hours trying to get this right. I'm attaching my work in progress ebuild in case someone else wants to continue. I really wanted to get python multi-version support working, because I detest python libraries that are single target. It makes migrating python versions such a headache when it's effortless on multi-version libs. My ebuild has two lingering problems that have led me to give up: 1. We need distuitls-r1 to get the python metadata, but the upstream's setup.py custom cmake wrapper doesn't pass the cmake variables Gentoo expects. We get a handful of QA warnings for each one built. Similarly, if we use cmake directly, we're missing the python metadata we expect. 2. I believe it's copying the entire library into each python .so file, which isn't ideal. At least all copies are going to be updated each time the ebuild is, but it should be using the system library and only having the python code in each python .so Created attachment 900841 [details]

Created attachment 881688 [details] Sample media-libs/zxing-cpp ebuild with tests and python bindings Please add tests and python binding to media-libs/zxing-cpp. See attached sample ebuild which does exactly that (tested).
