Example for building pylibmc wheels for Linux with Travis-CI
tldr: To use this manylinux wheel, simple add the following to your requirements.txt:
https://github.com/bxm156/pylibmc-manylinux/releases/download/v1.5.2/pylibmc-1.5.2-cp27-cp27mu-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
This is an example of how to use Travis-CI to build PEP 513-compatible manylinux1 wheels for pylibmc. It supports both Python 2 and 3 on 64 bit linux architectures. 32 bit support is possible, but not included in this example (who even uses 32 bit anymore?)
Because these wheels need to be compiled on CentOS 5, this example uses Docker running on Travis-CI to compile (you don't need to use docker at all to use these wheels, it's just to compile them). The possible docker-based build environment images are:
- 64-bit image (x86-64):
quay.io/pypa/manylinux1_x86_64 - 32-bit image (i686):
quay.io/pypa/manylinux1_i686
The .travis.yml file in this repository sets up the build environment. The
resulting build logs can be found at
https://travis-ci.org/bxm156/pylibmc-manylinux
The .travis.yml file instructs Travis to pull the PyPA docker images,
install package dependencies, libmemcached 1.0.18, and then build a pylibmc wheel. These
wheels link against an external library. So to create self-contained wheels,
the build script runs the wheels through
auditwheel, which copies the external
library into the wheel itself, so that users won't need to install any extra non-PyPI
dependencies, such as:
- libsasl2.so
- libz.so
- libresolv.so
- libmemcached.so
