check-orbit 0.1.1

Pybind11 check_orbit extension built with CMake

check_orbit (pybind11 C++ extension)

This folder contains the C++/CMake-based pybind11 extension check_orbit used by the project.

Quick install (build and install into the active Python environment)

Prerequisites

• Python development headers and a C/C++ toolchain:
  • macOS: Xcode command line tools (clang)
  • Windows: MSVC Build Tools (matching the Python ABI)
• CMake

Install build dependencies and build:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel scikit-build pybind11 cmake
cd core/cpp
python -m pip install .

This uses scikit-build to call CMake (the existing CMakeLists.txt in this folder).

Create a wheel (artifact) for distribution:

cd core/cpp
python -m pip wheel . -w ../dist

Notes

• Wheels are platform / Python-ABI specific. A wheel built on Windows will not work on macOS (and vice versa).
• If pip cannot find a compatible wheel on the target machine, it will attempt to build from source. The target machine must have the required build tools installed.
• For CI-built wheels, consider using cibuildwheel to produce many-platform wheels and publish to PyPI or GitHub Releases.
