Compatibility with pybuild/pyproject/pip

[andree182]

Looks like the python build strategy shifted towards using pip, and largely switched from setup.py to pyproject.toml .

Myself, I couldn't yet find a (pretty nor hackish) way to make 'pip install' work with crossenv, without using external pip packages (=offline), for example to build libselinux using their Makefile. The old way using setup.py still works though...

If someone is able to use this tool combination, please comment...

Sorry, somehow I missed this question when it was posted.

You need to explicitly use the created crossenv's python, either directly or by activating the virtual environment. I find it's simpler to just use the environment python directly. See how I use it to test the use of semiwrap in a crossenv docker image: https://github.com/robotpy/semiwrap/blob/main/.github/workflows/dist.yml#L200
