It seems that using `config_settings` is not so easy, due to the lack of documentation. See the discussion at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3896, where workarounds are also discussed. I am thinking about using an environment variable (i.e. `PYXROOTD_CMAKE_ARGS` or just `CMAKE_ARGS`) to let you pass build options for now, and when `config_settings` becomes more mature, then we can switch to using that. From the discussions I read, I got the impression that it is a moving target, at least for now, so they should have likely waited a bit more before dropping `--global-option` and `--build-option`. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/issues/2062#issuecomment-1683415005 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
