How to build a non-distribution, non-recipe existe

Question

This question is rather a paraphrase of not yet attended question: anaconda could not find my already installed package

I want to build doconce(https://github.com/hplgit/doconce) as a part of anaconda when no recipe for that repository is available.

Any help?

Answer 1

For packages on PyPI, the easiest way is to use the conda skeleton pypi command, like

conda skeleton pypi doconce

This will create a recipe for doconce from the metadata on PyPI, which you can then build with

conda build doconce
