Kumi	1e8ff8684d	Updated CXX env var and removed redundant ... library_dirs in setup Enhanced the 'CXX' environment variable assignment in setup.py to include the '-shlib' flag for shared library support. Also, streamlined the Extension configuration by eliminating the now unnecessary specification of default library directories, simplifying the build process. Refactors setup configuration for efficiency and compatibility with shared libraries.	2024-02-10 20:00:27 +01:00
Kumi	0568a820af	Simplify build and link HDF5 libraries ... Removed custom BuildExtCommand class from setup.py, simplifying the build process by relying on standard build_ext behavior. The custom command handling of submodule initialization and build extension modifications were deemed unnecessary. Additionally, extended the library dependencies to include 'hdf5_cpp' and 'hdf5' to ensure correct linking for HDF5 support. This change makes the build process more straightforward and maintainable.	2024-02-10 18:02:07 +01:00

Kumi	d1b8c79acb	Removed static HDF5 library linkage in build ... process Reflecting a shift toward dynamic library usage, the build system has been updated to omit hard-coded links to the HDF5 libraries. This change simplifies dependency management and increases flexibility in various build environments. It's important to ensure dependent projects are aware of this change, as they might need to explicitly link HDF5 if they don't dynamically load it.	2024-02-09 15:43:27 +01:00
Kumi	7fe4ccdf38	Disabled forced compiler override in setup ... Commented out the hardcoded compiler environment setting in the setup script to allow for greater flexibility in users' build environments. Letting the user or the system decide the appropriate C++ compiler prevents potential conflicts with predefined environment configurations.	2024-02-09 15:40:34 +01:00
Kumi	c0d1fbbf66	Enhance extension building in setup ... Updated the `BuildExtCommand` class in `setup.py` to append `rpath` flags and link against `hdf5` libraries when building extensions. This ensures that the shared libraries are correctly located at runtime and resolves potential linkage issues with HDF5-related extensions for a smoother installation and deployment process.	2024-02-09 15:33:51 +01:00
Kumi	75b7340354	Add library_dirs to extension build configuration ... Enhanced the build process by specifying the library directories in setup.py. This ensures the linker can locate all relevant libraries for the 'limedriver.binding' extension, preventing potential build issues on systems where libraries are not in the default search path.	2024-02-09 15:30:29 +01:00
Kumi	507c7538c6	Removed hdf5_cpp dependency from setup ... Optimized the build process by removing the unnecessary 'hdf5_cpp' library from the extension module configuration. This change simplifies linkage and can potentially reduce compile-time and binary size.	2024-02-09 15:21:10 +01:00
Kumi	4b2226e3f9	Add HDF5 include path to limedriver extension ... Extended the include directories for the limedriver binding in setup.py to address linking issues with HDF5 serialization. This is a temporary workaround to ensure compatibility and successful building of the extension, as indicated by the 'TODO' comment highlighting the need for a cleaner solution. Further refinement is required to integrate HDF5 in a more elegant manner.	2024-02-09 15:12:02 +01:00
Kumi	a85671e1af	Updated submodule commands and linked against ... hdf5_cpp library Enabled the use of shell in 'git submodule' commands to ensure cross-platform compatibility in the setup process. Also revised the linked libraries for the 'limedriver.binding' extension, replacing 'hdf5' with 'hdf5_cpp' to properly utilize the C++ HDF5 library interface. This change is expected to enhance compatibility and performance when interacting with HDF5 files.	2024-02-09 14:43:35 +01:00
Kumi	7572583efb	Added hdf5 library dependency to limedriver ... binding Extended the library dependencies for the limedriver binding in setup.py to include the hdf5 library, ensuring compatibility with data handling features that require HDF5 support. This change addresses the need for advanced data storage and management capabilities within the limedriver interface.	2024-02-09 14:04:28 +01:00

Kumi	1f24eb3f64	Enforce C++ compiler for Cython and fix Python binding ... - Standardized the C++ compiler across build environments by setting it in `setup.py`, ensuring consistent compilation of Cython extensions. - Transitioned to using `setuptools.build_meta` as the build backend in `pyproject.toml` for enhanced package build processes. - Modified the extension module path in `setup.py` to align with the new Python binding structure. - Introduced Python property decorators to `PyLimeConfig` class in `limedriver.pyx` for getter methods, enhancing the Pythonic interface of the Cython module. - Facilitated direct import of the binding in `__init__.py`, streamlining the usage of the `limedriver` package.	2024-02-08 09:52:51 +01:00
Kumi	261ccac1a0	Extend .gitignore and update build setup for C++ integration ... The .gitignore file now ignores C++ build artifacts alongside existing ones. In setup.py, the build configuration for 'limedriver' was modified to include a new C++ source file, indicating a shift to or expansion of C++ code usage within the project. This change prepares the build process to handle and compile C++ code, potentially for performance improvements or new functionality that leverages C++ capabilities.	2024-02-08 09:07:09 +01:00
Kumi	0465a51a46	Initial project config and implement build process ... Enhanced the .gitignore to filter out additional build artifacts and Python cache files, promoting a cleaner repository state. Introduced a basic project structure with a new pyproject.toml, defining metadata and build requirements for the 'limedriver' Python package. Also added a LICENSE file and a custom setup.py which automates the retrieval and build of 'limedriver' submodules, streamlining the set-up for development and ensuring consistent builds across environments. These changes lay the groundwork for further development and distribution of the project.	2024-02-07 18:18:44 +01:00
