| # IREE Compiler |
| |
| This directory contains the IREE compiler sources. |
| |
| ## Standalone Python Builds |
| |
| The included `setup.py` file can be used to build Python binaries or directly |
| install the IREE compiler API. Do note that the compiler is quite heavy and |
| unless you are developing it and on a significant machine, you will want to |
| use released binaries. |
| |
| There are two ways to build/install Python packages: |
| |
| * Directly from the source tree (this is how official releases are done). |
| * From the build directory while developing. |
| |
| It is recommended to use your favorite method for managing |
| [virtual environemnts](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) instead |
| of modifying the system installation. |
| |
| Only relatively recent versions of `pip` are supported. Always use the latest |
| via `pip install --upgrade pip`. |
| |
| You can build either from the source or build tree (assumes that CMake has |
| been configured and the project built). The latter is typically used by |
| project developers who are already setup for development and want to |
| incrementally generate Python packages without rebuilding. |
| |
| To build a wheel that can be installed on the same Python version and OS: |
| |
| ``` |
| python -m pip wheel compiler/ |
| ``` |
| |
| To directly install: |
| |
| ``` |
| python -m pip install compiler/ |
| ``` |
