Dependencies - zoslib

[fabiorlopes]

I am trying to compile SEAR from source in a zos 3.2 and after installing Open XL C/C++ and the CMake asks for zoslib. In the dependencies in the full doc I did not see this as a requisite (Maybe it is inside some other software package?)
I only found zoslib in github as a project https://github.com/ibmruntimes/zoslib. Is this the one that is needed by SEAR?

This is the one: https://github.com/zopencommunity/zoslibport

You're right as far as I can see, the documentation doesn't mention zoslib. This is an oversight and has been fixed.

Hi, thank you for pointing out the corret one.
If it is not too much trouble, could you see the cmake steps to compile? I could compile sear and generate the *.a file, but could not make the .whl for python. There is a variable SEAR_ENABLE_PYTHON that is set to off and is not documented. I tried changing it to ON and also tried passing a PATH for the result, but with no success so far.

The build process if you just want a wheel built from source is detailed here:

Let me know if it's poorly written, it was written quickly.

Thank you for the link, I was able to build it today! Only thing I would say is that the setup.py expects this format: + os.environ["ZOPEN_ROOTFS"] + "/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.a", that I imagine it is the folders when you use the zopen manager. I installed cmake, make, openssl and zoslib without the manager (from their .pax.Z), so my folders were different and I needed to change setup.py to make it work.
Thank you very much for the help, we are now testing sear! Great tool

Thanks for your feedback. Feel free to open an issue if you find any bugs or poorly written bits of documentation.

I have opened a pull request to address the build process being convoluted without zOpen:
