PyZZ

This repository combines the various tools and libraries needed for building pyzz

Requirements

• CMake 3.3 or above
• Ninja build tool
• g++ 4.8 or above (or clang with similar levels of C++11 support)
• Python 2.7 with development headers and libraries
• setuptools
• Zlib header files and libraries
• Git

For example, in Ubuntu 16.04, run the following command to satisfy all the requirements:

sudo apt-get install cmake ninja-build g++ python-dev python-setuptools git zlib1g-dev

Note that the version of CMake included in previous releases of Ubuntu is too old. This requires CMake 3.3 or above to be manually installed.

How to build this tool

python setup.py build

How to install this tool

python setup.py install

or (only for the current user)

python setup.py install --user

Windows

Building on Windows is more complicated. The simplest way is to use vcpkg to gather the dependencies.

Vcpkg

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg

Change into the vcpkg directory, and bootstrap

cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.bat

Install the relevant pacakges

./vcpkg.exe install dirent:x64-windows-static-md zlib:x64-windows-static-md

Build the extension

python setup.py \
    build_ext \
        --cmake-platform=x64 \
        --vcpkg-path=vcpkg \
        --vcpkg-triplet=x64-windows-static-md \
    build \
    install
