Building dr2_logger in a Windows venv #3

Closed maxbechtold closed 4 years ago

maxbechtold commented 4 years ago

So I'm following the build steps in README, but it's not self explanatory when it gets to the basemap dependency. The GitHub docs describe a way to do it with pip, but basemap expects the GEOS engine to be setup already. It seems I need to manually download and compile the GEOS engine... and my Windows is not equipped for that.

Can you give some hints on how to simplify this part, perhaps even a script?

ErlerPhilipp commented 4 years ago

Please try installing basemap via conda: conda install -c anaconda basemap if necessary: conda install -c conda-forge geos

I'm currently checking the requirements and will provide a yml for easier setup of conda environments. But ran into a QT DLL issue. I'll keep you updated.

I pushed a dr2logger.yml to the master branch. Please follow the instructions in the readme (section "Run and Build") to get exactly the right versions of the required packages.

I hope I didn't forget anything. The versions of QT (via conda) and PyInstaller (via pip) are probably critical. Basemap and GEOS should not be necessary anymore.

Does it work for you now?

Thanks for the docs, but I missed that I a need a data science platform for this to run... which I don't want to set up just now, sorry. But it looks like the build is more automated now. You might want to consider a CI build like GitHub Actions (have a look at how dirt-rally-time-recorder is built), which provide both Windows and Linux runners. This will also tell if the Windows built works properly.
