Quick Intro for Building Sasview ================================ The build works in the usualy pythonic way: $ python setup.py build # will build the package underneath 'build/' $ python setup.py install # will install the package If you want to check the build without installing: $ python run.py # will run the code in place (building the C code once, if required) To check all dependencies are met: $ python deps.py $ python check_packages.py Both tell you different parts of the story, unfortunately. Build scripts that are used on http://build.sasview.org/ are in build_tools. Make sure the build is run first obviously. $ build_tools/jenkins_linux_build.sh $ build_tools/jenkins_linux_test.sh $ build_tools/jenkins_linux_pylint.sh The scripts can be customized using environment variables, but should do a reasonable job as is in a sane setup. To build just the Sphinx docs: build_sphinx.py More information can be found here: http://www.sasview.org/help.html http://www.sasview.org/faq.html http://www.sasview.org/trac/wiki/DevNotes
