Support building and releasing Larch as a noarch package on Conda

Open asiripanich opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hello @jpn--,

I noticed that the package is currently built for three specific platforms. However, building Larch as a noarch package (is it even possible?) would make it more accessible to users on different platforms (cry in Mac ARM64 😢) and simplify the build process. Also, this would allow Mac ARM64 users to use ActivitySim's dev environment to create a new environment, currently we cannot do this because Larch doesn't have a Mac ARM64 build on Conda.

Please let me know if you are open to supporting noarch build and release. I would be happy to contribute by opening a pull request with the necessary modifications.

Thanks :)

I am perfectly happy to see Larch on conda as noarch. However, I understand this is not currently possible as Larch v5 includes compiled extension modules. It does build on Linux and I expect a Mac ARM build should be easy to add if you would like to try that.
