Doesn't install on windows
Berserker66 opened this issue · comments
Due to lack of readme, I assume the installation is via setup.py install; however this results in:
E:\pyvma-master>py -3.6 setup.py install
error in pyvma setup command: '_cffi_build/pyvma_build.py:ffi': object 'ffi' not found in module
win10, python 3.6.2 64bit
Indeed it works only on linux currently.
When it will be done, I will realize the windows compatibility.
I have fixed the Windows build.
Can you try again ?
To build on Windows, you need to follow exactly these build advices: https://github.com/realitix/pyshaderc#installation
pyshader is another module I did and the installation follows the same process.
PS: You don't need cmake for pyvma
Standard build instructions for any C-python module never work for me, something about my setup isn't getting detected properly. I have to use this batch:

(which I used to build cython, numpy and various cython-modules, so I know it works generally)
However, in this case I get this result:

Which is either my setup or a problem with this module, I can't tell you, sorry.
Did you run setup.py build before setup.py install ? build generates the static library. It looks like you didn't do it.
When you use pip, you usually don't have this problem because pip runs the build command under the hood.
That would do it:

usually build means make the module locally and install means make the module in site-packages.
I've never encountered a module before where you have to build and then install.
Indeed, I overwrite the Build command because I think about build as "build the library". Moreover, pip automatically calls it. If it was just for local, pip wouldn't call the build command.
Currently it's just the cffi wrapper, I have to do the Python part.
