An Isolated Install of Brubeck

Join For FreeI wanted to install James Dennis’s Brubeck web framework, but lately I’ve become fanatical about installing nothing, nothing, in the system-wide directories. A simple rm -rf brubeck/ should make it like nothing ever happened.
So that I remember this for next time, here’s how I did an isolated install of Brubeck and all its dependencies on Mac OS Lion.
Install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper (but of course you’ve already done this, because you’re elite like me).
Make a virtualenv
mkvirtualenv brubeck; cdvirtualenv
ZeroMQ
wget http://download.zeromq.org/historic/zeromq-2.1.9.tar.gz tar zxf zeromq-2.1.9.tar.gz cd zeromq-2.1.9 ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=.. # Don't install system-wide, just in your virtualenv's directory make cd ..
Mongrel2
git clone https://github.com/zedshaw/mongrel2.git cd mongrel2 emacs Makefile
Add a line like this to the top of the Makefile, so the compiler can find where you’ve installed ZeroMQ’s header and lib files:
OPTFLAGS += -I/Users/emptysquare/.virtualenvs/brubeck/include -L/Users/emptysquare/.virtualenvs/brubeck/lib
and replace PREFIX?=/usr/local with something like: PREFIX?=/Users/emptysquare/.virtualenvs/brubeck
(If you can get this to work with relative instead of absolute paths, please tell me in the comments!)
make make install cd ..
Python Packages
Now we need our isolated include/ and lib/ directories available on the path when we install Brubeck’s Python package dependencies. Specifically, the gevent_zeromq package has some C code that needs to find zmq.h and libzmq in order to compile. We’ll do that by setting the LIBRARY_PATH and C_INCLUDE_PATH environment variables:
cd brubeck export LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/emptysquare/.virtualenvs/brubeck/lib export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/Users/emptysquare/.virtualenvs/brubeck/include pip install -I -r ./envs/brubeck.reqs pip install -I -r ./envs/gevent.reqs
How nice is that?
Brubeck
git clone https://github.com/j2labs/brubeck.git cd brubeck
I plan to do a little hacking on Brubeck itself soon, so rather than running python setup.py install here, I’m simply including my copy of Brubeck’s source code on my PYTHONPATH.

Once you’re here, you have a completely isolated install of ZeroMQ,
Mongrel2, Brubeck, and all its package dependencies. Continue with
