Build

Requirements

Linux:

• gcc compiler suite (build-essential packages should be enough)
• docker (only for buildmanylinux)

Windows:

• VS2017 Build Tools (PLATFORM_TOOLSET=v141)
• Visual C++ compiler suite

Compile and test

1. ./build.sh init
2. ./build.sh build
3. ./build.sh test

If you have docker installed, you can build all the manylinux wheels:

1. ./build.sh within [manylinux docker image] buildmanylinux
2. ./build.sh within [manylinux docker image] testmanylinux

By deafult the image quay.io/pypa/manylinux2010_x86_64 will be used. Use $DOCKER_IMAGE and $PLAT variables to customize the build.
