# python-snappy Standalone installation of snappy, aws lambda

Building without the dependencies

Run the following in your lambci/lambda:build-python3.7 container:

git clone https://github.com/madarez/python-snappy
docker run --entrypoint='/bin/sh' --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)/python-snappy/",target=/var/task --rm -it lambci/lambda:build-python3.7

Then inside the docker container run install the following:

google-snappy:

sed -i '/set_target_properties(snappy/a\
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE ON' google-snappy/CMakeLists.txt'
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake3 -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../ ../google-snappy/
cmake3  --build .
cmake3  --build . --target install

andrix-python-snappy:

CPPFLAGS="-I$(pwd)/include -L$(pwd)/lib64" pip3 install andrix-python-snappy/ -t .

Then you can copy the generated lib64, include, and snappy folders to your lambda.
