how to customise files being copied into tmp directory when running a local pip install?












0















I'm trying to pip install the python binding of MXNet library from source code:



https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/install/ubuntu_setup.html#install-mxnet-for-python



After the main binary is built successfully using g++, there is no problem in installing its python binding in dev/editable mode:



pip install -e .



however when I try to deploy the full package (instead of just creating a symbolic link)



pip install .



I encounter the following error:



Processing ~/git-fork/mxnet/python
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/tmp/pip-req-build-k3hfc693/setup.py", line 47, in <module>
LIB_PATH = libinfo['find_lib_path']()
File "/tmp/pip-req-build-k3hfc693/mxnet/libinfo.py", line 74, in find_lib_path
'List of candidates:n' + str('n'.join(dll_path)))
RuntimeError: Cannot find the MXNet library.
List of candidates:
/tmp/pip-req-build-k3hfc693/mxnet/libmxnet.so
/tmp/pip-req-build-k3hfc693/mxnet/../../lib/libmxnet.so
/tmp/pip-req-build-k3hfc693/mxnet/../../build/libmxnet.so
../../../libmxnet.so

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-req-build-k3hfc693/


It appears that pip didn't copy ../../lib/libmxnet.so into tmp since it is outside the python package directory. What should I do to instruct pip to copy that file (and if possible, everything under parent directory) when installing?

          Where is your libmxnet.so located? It should be in the main-directory, so in your case: /git-fork/mxnet. Then the setup.py script should work out of the box. You could also manually set the path in setup.py, by adjusting the following line LIB_PATH = libinfo'find_lib_path'
