cookiecutter-cppyy-cmake's Issues

cmake of cookiecutter-cppyy-cmake project fails on Windows 10

First of all thank you for creating this project. I've used cookiecutter-cppyy-cmake to create Python bindings for our C++ project successfully on Linux (Ubuntu and CentOS). I found it very easy to use and maintain the Python bindings as our C++ code evolves.

However, we now need to create Python bindings for Windows 10 deployments.
Issue: After successfully running this command ...

    $ conda install -c conda-forge cookiecutter

... the cmake command fails because it can't find *.so files.

It appears that these files list *.so files instead of DLLs:
FindCppyy.cmake, ROOTConfig-targets-release.cmake, and modules\RootNewMacros.cmake

I believe the following DLLs correspond to the *.so files listed in ROOTConfig-targets-release.cmake. However, I couldn't find a DLL to match the libMathCore.so:

    libCling.so    -> <my_venv home>\Lib\site-packages\cppyy_backend\bin\libCling.dll
    libThread.so   -> <my_venv home>\Lib\site-packages\cppyy_backend\bin\libThreadLegacy.dll
    libCore.so     -> <my_venv home>\Lib\site-packages\cppyy_backend\bin\libCoreLegacy.dll
    libRIO.so      -> <my_venv home>\Lib\site-packages\cppyy_backend\bin\libRIOLegacy.dll
    libMathCore.so -> ??? **Can't find a corresponding DLL for this *.so file** ???

Can you provide a version of cookiecutter-cppyy-cmake that works on Windows? If not, can you provide guidance on what steps are needed to build it on Windows? If I can't get this to work on Windows I have to scrap all the work I did using this project on Linux and find an alternate solution that works on both Linux and Windows.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Question on python modules

First, thank you for this cookiecutter recipe. It has been a very helpful starting point for our project.

I think we have most things working well. However, I was wondering if you could help with a specific "issue". It's not a serious one, it just creates unnecessary code.

If you try to import a class from the namespace in Python, you cannot. You always have to namespace-qualify your reference. So, if I have a class in cpp namespace cppproject called foo, I may want to:

from cppproject import LogLevels

and then use LogLevels instead of cppproject.LogLevels in my Python code.

However, if I try the import, I get this:

`In [1]: import cppyy_test_bindings

Module cppyy_test_bindings.libcppyy_test_bindingsCppyy not importable in path ['/home/mbohan/source/cppyy-test-bindings/build', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/bin', '/home/afrancis/source/common', '/home/afrancis/source/battery/common', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python37.zip', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', '/home/mbohan/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/IPython/extensions', '/home/mbohan/.ipython'].
In [2]: from cppyy_test_bindings import cppproject

In [3]: from cppproject import LogLevels

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
----> 1 from cppproject import LogLevels

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cppproject'`

Python doesn't see cppproject as a module, so I can't import members from it.

Is there any way to do this? If not, we can continue to cppproject.x for every member we want to access.
