Build and install wheel locally ?

[stuaxo]

On Ubuntu 22.04, on amd64

Any idea how I can build the python package locally (so I can install it in a virtualenv?).

I can build everything with cmake, though at that point I don't have an installable whl.

If I try python setup.py build or python setup.py install skbuild gets stuck:

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
