Build System Interface
----------------------
In order for pip to build a wheel, ``setup.py`` must implement the
``bdist_wheel`` command with the following syntax:
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Unix/macOS
.. code-block:: shell
python setup.py bdist_wheel -d TARGET
.. group-tab:: Windows
.. code-block:: shell
py setup.py bdist_wheel -d TARGET
This command must create a wheel compatible with the invoking Python
interpreter, and save that wheel in the directory TARGET.
No other build system commands are invoked by the ``pip wheel`` command.
Customising the build
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It is possible using ``--global-option`` to include additional build commands
with their arguments in the ``setup.py`` command. This is currently the only
way to influence the building of C extensions from the command line. For
example:
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Unix/macOS
.. code-block:: shell
python -m pip wheel --global-option bdist_ext --global-option -DFOO wheel
.. group-tab:: Windows
.. code-block:: shell
py -m pip wheel --global-option bdist_ext --global-option -DFOO wheel
will result in a build command of
::
setup.py bdist_ext -DFOO bdist_wheel -d TARGET
which passes a preprocessor symbol to the extension build.
Such usage is considered highly build-system specific and more an accident of
the current implementation than a supported interface.

#. Build wheels for a requirement (and all its dependencies), and then install
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Unix/macOS

py -m pip install --no-index --find-links=/tmp/wheelhouse SomePackage
#. Build a wheel for a package from source
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Unix/macOS

.. code-block:: shell
py -m pip wheel --no-binary SomePackage SomePackage
