Build issue since moving fabio to src about fabio HOT 7 CLOSED

Not an issue. Did not notice the transition to meson.
@kif - can you please document the manual meson installation in http://www.silx.org/doc/fabio/latest/install.html#manual-installation-for-any-operating-system ?

While at it, is the old flag --optimize=1 still valid? The meson build seems not to have such an option.

Hi, since python 3.12 is out, the instsllation based on setup.py is no more functionnal (it was relying on numpy.distutils). I am preparing a new release which supports only meson-python. Thanks for reminding me to ensure the docs have been updated.
Until then, you can have a look at the nighly built doc at:
https://www.silx.org/doc/fabio/dev/install.html
Thanks for taking care of the Arch packaging.

What does this optimize option do?

What does this optimize option do?

Here's the doc for the --optimize=1 option I've used so far: https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/distutils/apiref.html#distutils.util.byte_compile

I wonder if meson takes care of it automatically...

from fabio.

There is optimization at 2 levels:

• When compiling the code, https://github.com/silx-kit/fabio/blob/main/bootstrap.py#L39 where you can specify the debug/plain/release mode (note this is automatically properly handled).
• the byte-compilation of the source python files and I believe, this is performed by the pip tool which installs files from the wheel.

from fabio.

Thanks, all clear, closing the issue, and the package is updated.

@kif - just can you please describe the manual installation method in the doc (without pip, as pip can't always be used). I.e.:

python -m build --wheel --no-isolation
python -m installer dist/*.whl
