pxmake

xmake implement on python focuses on reuse python's library and API compatibility

Intro

xmake is a make-like build utility based on Lua. Its low-level API (xmake machine) is implemented in C with library tbox

This repo, pxmake, is the reimplement of xmake machine on Python. Notice that the main part is still written in Lua and is same as xmake

pxmake created because to extend API for xmake in C is a little matter. pxmake focuses on reuse python's library and API compatibility with xmake

Install

$ python3 setup.py install

Common install problems

Generic build steps could be found at .travis.yml & .appveyor.yml

Python version

Not support python2. At least python 3.3 with setuptools (pip) is required but newest version is recommanded especially on Windows

lupa build fails

See lupa/INSTALL.rst#building-with-luajit2

Run fails

• Do not install from wheel or sdist. Directly install or install from egg. This is because the path of installed data_files is vary in other ways
• lupa must bind with luajit, not lua. It's not matter whether JIT is enabled (no big diff on speed) but it must be luajit
