Setting up the development environment
Baloo installs a number of executables and libraries. While these can be installed in /usr/
, that requires root access and typically interfers with the distro packages. Instead we prefer installing Baloo locally, and updating the required environment variables. This isolates environment also protects us from mistakes.
Python development typically also uses an isolated environment called a virtual environment. For now we can just use their tool.
This builds and installs Baloo in the virtual environment.
This is stupid, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set by virtualenv. We need a better tool. Write my own?
