Build Flow

Building and Deploying Python code with native shared libraries a continuously involving ordeal, hence I have provided the equivalent CMake/Makefile command in comments to be relatable to C++. Internally Cmake and Make are invoked. The build-flow currently uses setuptools, which is deprecated in Python 3.12.

Install Dependencies

See requirements.txt

Environment Variables

Variable	Default Value	Description
LLVM_INSTALL_DIR	${HOME}/libclang	libclang directory
SKNRF_DIR	import site ; site.getsitepackages()[0]	Python sknrf-core Module Directory
CONDA_PREFIX	/usr/local	C++ Sysroot
VISA_LIB	@py	Visa Library Location

Release Build

   python3 setup.py clean                                   # sudo make clean
   python3 setup.py config    `                             # cmake ..
   python3 setup.py build                                   # make
   python3 setup.py install                                 # sudo make install

python3 setup.py install will take a while to execute because it builds the python documentation. As an alternative python3 setup.py develop creates the same outcome by symbolicly linking the src directory sknrf to a file in the site-packages folder. NOTE: This is a PYTHON-SPECIFIC symbolic link that works cross-platform for PYTHON ONLY. You still need to install all other files as follows!

   python3 setup.py clean                                   # sudo make clean
   python3 setup.py config    `                             # cmake ..
   python3 setup.py build                                   # make
   python3 setup.py install_clib                            # sudo make install
   python3 setup.py install_data                            # sudo make install
   python3 setup.py develop                                 # All changes in the source directory are now installed instantly
   python3 setup.py install_doc                             # sudo make install
