Before this PR, the jaxlib build script (
build/build.py
) writes its output tobuild/
subdirectory of the jax source tree. This is a bit ugly since it intermingles the jax source tree with the artifacts built from it (an unpacked wheel).This PR changes the build scripts to build a
.whl
package as the output of runningbuild.py
, which is by default written to thedist/
subdirectory of the current directory.Also remove mentions of
cython
as a build dependency. We don't need the user to providecython
, bazel downloads it.six
also seems unused.
