Ok, I think I figured out how to do this and to check the Python and
Swig versions to make sure that they are ok, but I can't figure out how
to set an environment variable for the build process. In:
bindings/swig-support/plplotcapi.i I have:
#ifdef PYTHON_HAVE_PYBUFFER
%include <pybuffer.i>
%pybuffer_mutable_string(void * plotmem)
%feature("autodoc", "Set the memory area to be plotted (with the 'mem'
driver).") plsmem;
void
plsmem(PLINT maxx, PLINT maxy, void *plotmem);
#endif
Now I need cmake to set PYTHON_HAVE_PYBUFFER appropriately. I tried:
SET(ENV{PYTHON_HAVE_PYBUFFER} ON), but that does not seem to work.
