Hi,

I am compiling Pytorch inside a Docker container in order to make it work with ROCM. I have been successful until now, everyting works well. However, I would like to build the wheel when I run `.jenkins/pytorch/build.sh` but instead, it installs pytorch in the system version of Python and there’s no trace of the whl file in my pytorch directory. Any clue?

Rationale: **I’d like to handle my dependencies with poetry** , and I’d like to point to the wheel in the requirements…

Thanks

Hi,

sorry for the late reply! You can use `python3 setup.py bdist_wheel` to build wheels.  
I put up a [recipe for building PyTorch on ROCm](https://lernapparat.de/pytorch-rocm/) on my blog.

Best regards
