ivpm-build

Build tooling for Python packages that wrap native C/C++ extensions, with IVPM integration for cross-package dependency resolution.

ivpm-build handles the full native-extension build pipeline:

1. CMake build — configure, build, and install native code via CmakeBuilder
2. Python extension compile — Cython/C++ extension compilation via a BuildExt command that injects include and library paths from IVPM-managed dependencies
3. Shared-library packaging — InstallLib copies native .so/.dll/.dylib files into the wheel alongside the Python extension module
4. IVPM dependency resolution — queries the IVPM package registry (PkgInfoRgy) to obtain include dirs, library dirs, and Cython .pxd files from other IVPM-managed native packages listed in ivpm.yaml

When to use ivpm-build

Use ivpm-build when your Python package:

• wraps a C/C++ library built with CMake, and/or
• exposes a Cython extension that links against native libraries from other IVPM-managed packages (e.g. debug-mgr, ciostream, antlr4-runtime)

Installation

pip install ivpm-build

Quick Start

pyproject.toml (recommended)

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=64", "wheel", "cython", "ivpm-build", "ivpm"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

setup.py

from ivpm_build.setup import setup   # replaces ivpm.setup.setup
from setuptools import Extension

ext = Extension("mypkg._core", sources=["python/core.pyx"], language="c++")

setup(
    name="mypkg",
    ext_modules=[ext],
    ivpm_extdep_pkgs=["debug-mgr", "ciostream"],   # IVPM deps → include/lib paths
    ivpm_extra_data={
        "mypkg": [
            ("build/{libdir}/{libpref}mypkg{dllext}", ""),  # bundle native lib
        ]
    },
)

BuildExt (injected by setup()) automatically resolves include directories, library directories, and Cython .pxd search paths from each package listed in ivpm_extdep_pkgs via the IVPM registry.

CMake-only build

from ivpm_build.cmake import CmakeBuilder

builder = CmakeBuilder(proj_dir="/path/to/project")
builder.run()   # cmake configure → build → install

Integration paths
