Compiling and development
PixelPipes is a hybrid source-code project, it contains C++ and Python code. Its main build framework is CMake which is wrapped in distutils.
The C++ library does not require any external dependencies during runtime, internally dependencies (like OpenCV) are pinned to a fixed version, compiled as static libraries and linked into the binary library. The C++ code requires a fairly recent compiler, supporting C++17. Compilation processed was tested on GCC 10, Clang ?? and MSVC ??.
The Python C++ wrapper requires Pybind11 and Numpy. It also uses some other Python packages that are installed via Pip. A PyBind11 header library is used to generate Python bindings for the C++ core, it is installed as a Pip dependency.
For development and testing purposes, the libraries can be compiled inplace using the following commands:
1pip install cmake pybind11
2pip install -r requirements.txt
3python setup.py build_lib --inplace
4python setup.py build_ext --inplace
