I need to convert some non-Python packages that are in the .tar.bz2 format to Anaconda/miniConda .egg files and install them. For this I would need a bld.bat file for Windows. Is there any place on the internet where I can find some examples to do this.
Maybe it is possible to write a .py Python script to do this as well. The .tar files are present online and I need to download and install those automatically using the script.
With conda-build you can build non-Python packages the same way that you build Python packages. Sourcing from a tarball is supported.
Here is the documentation for conda-build with several tutorials and example recipes:
- https://conda.io/docs/building/build.html
- https://python-packaging-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. There was another tutorial linked here originally, but it got outdated, and it was removed. This new tutorial is the closest useful replacements resource for the original.
