Wheels for more platforms

[alugowski]

I would love to try librsb, but the wheels available on PyPI are for old Python versions on Linux only.

pip install pyrsb attempts to build from source, but in a clean venv (with just numpy installed) throws this:

% pip install pyrsb
Collecting pyrsb

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Hi @alugowski . Thanks for feedback. I won't be proactive during these (holiday) days so I can check the pip issue later on.

Compiling LIBRSB on one own's machine is always the best thing and it's pretty easy -- let know if you encounter problems with that or if anything in LIBRSB's instructions is wrong or missing about that.

Hi @alugowski . Were you able to proceed by your own?

Hi @alugowski . Were you able to proceed by your own?

I glanced through the build process before submitting the issue. I've no idea why it gets stuck at the place it does. I do notice a few issues in the build system, but more importantly I saw the message that this is just a prototype. That, combined with only being tested on old Linux and using a no-longer supported build system makes me not want to commit more time. Like I said, I just wanted to give this a quick try to see what's up, I'm not motivated to spend hours debugging.

FYI, building wheels for all common platforms is no longer the big hassle it used to be. GitHub Actions and cibuildwheel make it easy.

Hi @alugowski . PyRSB is a prototype: it's only a thin layer to the LIBRSB library, which is perfectly mature.
