Detailed Documentation

Supported options

The recipe supports the following options:

egg

Set to the desired lxml egg, e.g. lxml or lxml==2.1.2

libxslt-url, libxml2-url

The URL to download the source tarball of these libraries from. Currently defaults to:

http://dist.repoze.org/lemonade/dev/cmmi/libxslt-1.1.24.tar.gz
http://dist.repoze.org/lemonade/dev/cmmi/libxml2-2.6.32.tar.gz

build-libxslt, build-libxml2

Set to true (default) if these should be build, false otherwise. Needes to be true for a static build.

static-build

true or false. On OS X this defaults to true.

xml2-loction

Needed if libxml2 is not built.

xslt-loction

Needed if libxslt is not built.

xslt-config

Path to the xslt-config binary. Not needed if build-libxslt is set to true.

xml2-config

Path to the xml2-config binary. Not needed if build-libxml2 is set to true.

force

Set to true to force rebuilding libraries every time.

Example usage

This is an example buildout:

[buildout]
parts =
   lxml
   pylxml
develop = .

log-level = DEBUG

download-directory = downloads
download-cache = downloads

versions=versions

[versions]
lxml = 2.1.3


[pylxml]
recipe=zc.recipe.egg
interpreter=pylxml
eggs=
    lxml

[lxml]
recipe = z3c.recipe.staticlxml
egg = lxml

This will build a static version of the lxml egg, that is, it won’t have any dependencies on libxml2 and libxslt.
