Thanks for the reply Jason.

I gather "they" refers to whomever I need to contact about this issue. Who are "they" then?

Thanks for asking this. I have been wondering about it for a while but have not gotten around to asking it. I’m not sure they currently have a good solution for this for all platforms.

Dear all,







I am trying to package a Python script that uses GDAL for PyPI. I started by including a direct reference in my setup.py:


install_requires=['GDAL==1.11.2'],


This way the package failed to install in my test virtual environment:

extensions/gdal_wrap.cpp:2855:22: fatal error: cpl_port.h: No such file or directory
#include "cpl_port.h"
^
compilation terminated.
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

I then tried it with a reference to pygdal, since it is marked as a virtualenv friendly version:


install_requires=['pygdal'],


This way the installation finishes without errors (but with the usual load of compilation warnings). However, when then I invoke the script I get this error back:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/desouslu/.virtualenvs/test_p3/bin/hasc2gml", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File "/home/desouslu/.virtualenvs/test_p3/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2716, in <module>
working_set.require(__requires__)
File "/home/desouslu/.virtualenvs/test_p3/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 685, in require
needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
File "/home/desouslu/.virtualenvs/test_p3/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 588, in resolve
raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pygdal

What is the correct way of setting GDAL as a dependency?



Thank you,







Luís
