GitHub lxml build scripts - helpful to others?
Hi all, I was interested in learning more about lxml. So, I wrote a couple of shell scripts that build lxml statically, and non-statically, and posted them on GitHub. Specifically, they are (I believe) the minimal code required to build lxml from source remotely on a freshly created Google Cloud Platform Cloud Compute VM, on a Debian Linux system. I used the documentation some. However, I had to add -fPIC in a static build command, and set the environmental variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use lxml when built non-statically. I also used -i and build_ext (instead of build) when building lxml statically, and this was not in the docs. My question is: would any of this help other lxml users and/or be worth putting in the documentation? Either way is fine - let me know! I'm happy to write up a PR for the docs if that's helpful too. See https://github.com/abepolk/lxml-scripts. Best, Abe Polk
