127 Packaging pyceda for Ubuntu 16.04 using distutils

Prepare pyceda package

Run the cedapackage script to package the ceda core libraries. These are created under ~/developer/ceda/lib/Linuxx64/Release

  (root)
    └── lib
        └── Linuxx64
            └── Release
                ├── libcxBuild.so
                ├── libcxCedaScript.so
                ├── libcxLss.so
                ├── libcxMacroExpander.so
                ├── libcxMessage.so
                ├── libcxObject.so
                ├── libcxOperation.so
                ├── libcxPersistStore.so
                ├── libcxPython.so
                ├── libcxRmi.so
                ├── libcxSocket.so
                ├── libcxThread.so
                ├── libcxUtils.so
                └── libcxWorkingSetIpc.so

Run the following command to copy the pyceda_package from ~/developer/_root_/Ceda/Core/Python/pyceda_package to ~/developer/pyceda_package

cp -r ~/developer/_root_/Ceda/Core/Python/pyceda_package ~/developer

Run the following command in order to copy the shared library files from ~/developer/ceda/lib/Linuxx64/Release to ~/developer/pyceda_package/pyceda/lib/linux:

cp ~/developer/ceda/lib/Linuxx64/Release/*.so ~/developer/pyceda_package/pyceda/lib/linux

Check pyceda package

Check the folder structure with the following command:

tree pyceda_package/

The following structure should be shown:

pyceda_package

    │   ├── __init__.py
    │   ├── lib
    │   │   ├── linux
    │   │   │   ├── libcxBuild.so

Generate tarball using distutils

Run the commands:

cd ~/developer/pyceda_package
python setup.py sdist

This generates the following output:
