pyproject.toml: more flexible library name search on Windows

[Tristan Croll]

The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        Windows-10-10.0.26100
ChimeraX Version: 1.10rc202505100155 (2025-05-10 01:55:54 UTC)
Description
ISOLDE's up and running with ChimeraX 1.10rc in Linux and Windows... :)

Minor thing, but to make the latter work I had to add a couple of clunky entries like the below to `pyproject.toml`, because the simple `libraries = ["OpenMM"] makes `bundle_builder` crash because it expects `libOpenMM.lib` where OpenMM provides `OpenMM.lib`. The latter naming scheme seems pretty common in Windows... might pay to have `bundle_builder` look for both options and work with the one that exists?

{{{
[chimerax.extension._openmm_force_ext.platform.linux]
libraries = ["OpenMM"]

[chimerax.extension._openmm_force_ext.platform.mac]
libraries = ["OpenMM"]

[chimerax.extension._openmm_force_ext.platform.win]
extra-link-args = ["OpenMM.lib"]
}}}

[Zach Pearson]

Sounds reasonable to me. Thanks for flagging this!

[Zach Pearson]

If I wanted to test this, were you using the PyPi OpenMM?

[Tristan Croll]

That’s correct. The version of ISOLDE I pushed to GitHub today is working
in Windows, if you want to test with that.

What's actually happening is, we assume that the '.lib' suffix is going to be automatically added by the compiler, so we strip it off when you give us a name like "foo.lib" in the libraries field. But if you don't trip that 'if', it prepends the library with 'lib' and becomes 'libfoo.lib' by the time it hits the compiler.

That's for *ChimeraX libraries* and libraries generated by bundle builder. Like you're seeing it won't hit libraries generated by other build systems.

Since MSVC won't let me give it both foo and libfoo and will complain about one of them being missing even if all the symbols are accounted for I think the way forward is to delete that else clause and have everybody write in 'libwhatever' if the lib comes from ChimeraX and they know what it's going to be called.

Well actually that won't work either because the idea was not to have to have these separate tables across platforms if one of them is expecting lib prefixes. I've got to look through all the lib folders and figure out what the actual names of the library files are.
