An example pybind11 module built with a
CMake-based build system. This is useful for C++ codebases that have an
existing CMake project structure. This is in many cases superseded by
scikit_build_example
, which uses
scikit-build, a tool from the makers of CMake designed to allow Python
packages to be driven from CMake. However, there are still cases where you
might want full control over the CMake run; and both of these approaches have
some trade-offs not present in a pure setuptools build (see
python_example
). Python 3.6+ required;
see the commit history for older versions of Python.
- A compiler with C++11 support
- Pip 10+ or CMake >= 3.4 (or 3.8+ on Windows, which was the first version to support VS 2015)
- Ninja or Pip 10+
Just clone this repository and pip install. Note the --recursive
option which is
needed for the pybind11 submodule:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/pybind/cmake_example.git
pip install ./cmake_example
With the setup.py
file included in this example, the pip install
command will
invoke CMake and build the pybind11 module as specified in CMakeLists.txt
.
Documentation for the example project is generated using Sphinx. Sphinx has the ability to automatically inspect the signatures and documentation strings in the extension module to generate beautiful documentation in a variety formats. The following command generates HTML-based reference documentation; for other formats please refer to the Sphinx manual:
cd cmake_example/docs
make html
