The code for this recipe is available at https://github.com/dev-cafe/cmake-cookbook/tree/v1.0/chapter-11/recipe-02. The recipe is valid with CMake version 3.11 (and higher) and has been tested on GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows.
In this recipe, we will take the pybind11 example from Chapter 9, Mixed-language Projects, Recipe 5, Building C++ and Python projects using pybind11, as a starting point, add relevant install targets and pip packaging information and upload the project to PyPI. Our goal will be to arrive at a project that can be installed using pip and runs CMake and fetches the pybind11 dependency under the hood.
