Can't install sample rate in google colab

Version of python is 3.10.12.

!pip install samplerate --no-cache-dir returns

Can't get any of the errors to display, but it also fails for me on my mac locally. seemed to be an issue there with cmake and "from cmake import cmake".

Hi @ajayarora1235 , actually, I had the same issue on colab, and I think I know the cause. samplerate uses cmake to handle the compilation. Colab comes with the cmake python package (a wrapper around) cmake preinstalled, so that calling cmake calls this package instead of the real cmake. However, the python package build system creates an empty environment to build the package, and there, the cmake python is not available, however, it still calls the same cmake wrapper that depends on it. The solution is to add the cmake python wrapper as a build dependency of samplerate. I will try to do that quickly.

I made a fix in PR #16 . You can try it by installing from the fix_cmake_dep branch. I have verified successful installation of the package on colab with the following command.

pip -q install git+https://github.com/tuxu/python-samplerate.git@fix_cmake_dep

Thanks for this fix! I came across the same problem today and this fixed it for me
