Recommended only for versions previous to this commit. For newer versions build using setup.py bdist_wheel or build.
To build a self-contained Python Wheel:

-DCUDA_ROOT |
The path to CUDA. This parameter is required to support training on GPU. |
For example, to build and install a wheel on Windows for Anaconda with training on GPU support run:
python.exe mk_wheel.py -DPYTHON_INCLUDE="/I C:\Anaconda2\include" -DPYTHON_LIBRARIES="C:\Anaconda2\libs\python27.lib" -DCUDA_ROOT="C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0"
C:\Anaconda2\Scripts\pip.exe install catboost-0.1.0.6-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
