A recipe to build lxml
Project description
This recipe automates the installation of the lxml python package and, additionally, builds it statically against dependent libraries like libxml2, libxlst.
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.
