How should I set up the build system to make sure pyorbbecsdk gets installed in my conda virtual env instead of the base environment?

[972497768]

Hello, I'm facing the following technical challenge when using this code. Could you please suggest how to address it?

Build system configuration assistance required:
Project: pyorbbecsdk.sln in Visual Studio
Problem: Generated binaries link to Python 3.12 (system)
Requirement: Must target Python 3.9 (Conda virtual env)
Please advise necessary configuration changes.

Please follow these steps to ensure the build targets the correct Python environment:

1.Make sure your virtual environment is fully set up, especially pybind11.

2.Activate the virtual environment.

3.Update the Python paths in pyorbbecsdk/CMakeLists.txt before the line:
find_package(Python3 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Interpreter Development)

For example:

Replace with your Python path

set(Python3_ROOT_DIR "/home/anaconda3/envs/py3.6.8")

Replace with your Pybind11 path

set(pybind11_DIR "${Python3_ROOT_DIR}/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pybind11/share/cmake/pybind11")

Hi, @972497768

Thanks for your feedback.

The build system in the latest v2-main branch has been optimized. We recommend using uv to build the pyorbbecsdk package.
uv is a tool for managing Python versions. Using uv with our build script will automatically call your local Visual Studio to perform a one-click compilation.

Please try the new script:
New script

To build the package for a specific Python version, you can simply run the script with the version number as an argument. For example, to build for Python 3.9, you can use:

./build-whl-uv.ps1 3.9

Hope this helps!
