How to install gdal with 'pipenv install' using CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS

Question

If I mention "gdal = '2.2.3'" in the Pipfile and launch the instruction pipenv install, the install fails.

If I launch the instruction CFLAGS="-I /usr/include/gdal" CXXFLAGS="-I /usr/include/gdal" pipenv install GDAL==2.2.3 the install succeed.

Is there a way to add the options 'CFLAGS="-I /usr/include/gdal" CXXFLAGS="-I /usr/include/gdal"' into the Pipfile so that they are taken in consideration when launching 'pipenv install'?

Answer 1

Potential solution: create a .env file defining the CFLAGS etc environment variables in your project directory.

Pipenv automatically reads this file if it exists and instantiates any environment variables, when the venv is activated.
