How to package other another build with your conda build

I'm creating a build for my PyPI package with 

> conda skeleton pypi myPackage
> conda build --python 3.5 myPackage

and I get the following error:

BUILD START: myPackage-py33_0
updating index in: /data/anaconda2/conda-bld/linux-64
updating index in: /data/anaconda2/conda-bld/noarch
Can't build /home/user/myPackage due to unsatisfiable dependencies:
Package missing in current linux-64 channels:
  - mysqlclient

So I built mysqlclient from PyPI which allowed me to successfully build myPackage:

> conda skeleton pypi mysqlclient
> conda build --python 3.5 mysqlclient

I then start my new conda env and try to install my package

> conda install -c wwbp myPackage
Fetching package metadata .........
Solving package specifications: .
PackageNotFoundError: Package not found: '' Dependency missing in current linux-64 channels:
  - myPackage 1.0.dev24* -> mysqlclient

You can search for packages on anaconda.org with

    anaconda search -t conda mysqlclient

I then have to install mysqlclient first and then myPackage

> conda install -c bioconda mysqlclient
> conda install -c wwbp myPackage

Is there a way to include this build of mysqlclient with myPackage? I would like to be able to install it with one install call.

Solution

  • You just have to upload your mysqlclient package to the same channel that myPackage is uploaded to. Then conda install -c mychannel myPackage will (should) find the dependency in the same channel.
