kiwisolver build fails on TravisCI about kiwi HOT 3 CLOSED

You can't easy-install kiwi without running the build.py script first. This is because python's manifest file has concept of relative ancestor directories. This means that all of the C++ headers have to be copied into the Python directory first.

The easiest way to build kiwi is to run:

python build.py [build|develop|install]

which will copy the right files and then invoke setup.py

from kiwi.

I'm open to suggestions/improvements on the setup script.

from kiwi.

This is working for me (with setup.py in the repo root):

ext_modules = [
    Extension(
        'kiwisolver',
        ['py/kiwisolver.cpp',
         'py/constraint.cpp',
         'py/expression.cpp',
         'py/solver.cpp',
         'py/strength.cpp',
         'py/term.cpp',
         'py/variable.cpp'],
        include_dirs=['.', 'kiwi', 'py'],
        language='c++',
    ),
]

And the MANIFEST.in looks like this:

include MANIFEST.in
include COPYING.txt
include README.rst
include releasenotes.rst
recursive-include kiwi *.h
recursive-include py *.cpp *.h
