2015-09-12 Building wheel for CVXcanon on Windows¶
I tried to run the command python setup.py bdist_wheel
but it failed with the following error message:
Checking .pth file support in build\bdist.win-amd64\wheel\CVXcanon-0.0.18.data\..\
c:\Python34_x64\pythonw.exe -E -c pass
TEST FAILED: build\bdist.win-amd64\wheel\CVXcanon-0.0.18.data\..\ does NOT support .pth files
error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH
You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not
on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from. The
installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:
build\bdist.win-amd64\wheel\CVXcanon-0.0.18.data\..\
So before giving up, I tried python setup.py install
which worked… So I decided the build a very simple
wheel with the compiled files extracted from the
site-packages
directory.
