Hi Manolo,

I am doing fine and hope that the same goes for you.

To get the shared libraries into the right folder, try invoking meson as:

meson setup builddir --buildtype=release --prefix=/users/srio/miniconda3 --libdir=lib

I have no trouble building wheels, using the included pyproject.toml:

$ python -m pip wheel .

Successfully built xraylib

$ python -m pip install xraylib-4.1.2-cp38-cp38-macosx_10_9_x86_64.whl

This works on Linux and macOS. I have produced a patch for mesonpep517 to add support for Windows, but the project seems to be unmaintained.

Ah, you should not use the official release tarball for building with mesonpep517: use the git checkout instead

Thanks a lot Tom. It works beautifully! It is great, this is very helpful!

For my own memorandum, I summarize the process:

git clone https://github.com/tschoonj/xraylib
cd xraylib
git checkout mesonpep517
python -m pip wheel .
python -m pip install xraylib-4.1.1-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl

from xraylib.

Meson recently added a builtin option: -Dpython.install_env=auto -- the default, behavior-preserving value is "prefix" which plays nicely with a linux distro derived python, but not a custom miniconda prefix.

Specifically, lib/x86_64-linux-gnu seems like a misdetected "Debian" install layout mode.
