# npcomp - An aspirational MLIR based numpy compiler
## Scratch-pad of build configurations that have worked
## Quick start
```
export LLVM_SRC_DIR=/path/to/llvm-project
./tools/install_mlir.sh
./tools/cmake_configure.sh
cd build
ninja
./python/run_tests.py
```
### Installing pybind11
The native extension relies on pybind11. In a perfect world, this could just
be installed with your system package manager. However, at least on
Ubuntu Disco, the system package installed with broken cmake files.
I built/installed from pybind11 head without issue and put it in /usr/local.
There are better ways to do this.
### Building the python native library
```shell
# From the build directory
ninja NPCOMPNativePyExt
# Outputs to tools/npcomp/python/npcomp/native...so
export PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)/tools/npcomp/python
python3 -m npcomp.smoketest
```
Notes:
* Python sources are symlinked to the output directory at configure time.
Adding sources will require a reconfigure. Editing should not.
* It is a very common issue to have both python 2.7 (aka. "python") and python
3.x (aka. "python3") on a system at a time (and we can only hope that one
day this ends). Since the native library at development time binds to a
specific version, if you try to run with a different python, you will get
an error about the "native" module not being found.
