Shapely

[virtuald]

Supercedes #26, but doesn't work yet. I think that shapely doesn't support cross-compilation because of the way that it detects numpy as a dependency.

shapely depends on libgeos, and what this does is adds a separate step that builds libgeos and installs it into the sysroot (but only with static linking), so in theory if the wheel gets built it should just work. However it fails when trying to link to some numpy stuff.

I've brought this as far as I want to go with it, someone else will need to fix shapely.

I think your errors are not coming from numpy but from Cython. Here is a GitHub issue that describes the problem that the checks are returning and a solution: cython/cython#6249

Would there be a way to force it to use numpy 2.0.0 even though 2.2.1 is installed, as described as one possible solution to the Cython issue?

[virtuald]

Yeah, I had seen that, and had tried a variety of permutations of versions. It seems like the unreleased version of shapely might have fixes for this stuff?

I'm done messing with it for now. If you can find a combination of things that works locally, post it and we can update this.

Thanks for your help. I found other package that can accomplish my use case that's written in pure python. It has similar features and is a lighter version of Shapely so I don't think I will need Shapely anymore.
