An Attempt at Solving Build Issues on Windows
Hi all,
I've been following PyMesh for a few years now and have noticed the same issue coming up again and again; being unable to build PyMesh on Windows with any ease. I thought I'd try and help fix this.
Some of the issues which bring up this issue are: #267, #253, #38, #27, #18.
I currently have a fork whose master branch should have some commits which help with Windows. I've already changed some code and dependencies, and the modified install instructions are:
- [C++] Build and install boost and add to path
- Get your required source from: https://www.boost.org/users/download/
-
cdinto the boost root directory - Run
bootstrap && .\b2 - From the boost root dir add
stage/lib/to your path - You will most likely have to restart your terminal
- [Py] Install
pytestwithpip install pytest - [Py] Install
hypothosiswithpip install hypothesis -
cdto the PyMesh root dir - Run
python setup.py build - Run
python setup.py install - Run
python -c "import pymesh; pymesh.test()"
I can't promise any miracles, so this may not work straight away for everyone (or indeed anyone). So please leave feedback with any issues you run into!
