Building a Cura installer from source

[yess1987]

Application Version

5.2.0

Platform

windows 10

Printer

Ultimaker S5

Reproduction steps

pip install conan --upgrade conan config install https://github.com/ultimaker/conan-config.git conan profile new default --detect --force conan remote remove cura git clone https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura.git cd Cura conan install . --build=missing --update -o cura:devtools=True -g VirtualPythonEnv .\venv\Scripts\activate.ps1 python cura_app.py conan create . cura/5.3.0-alpha@yess/testing --build=missing --update conan install cura/5.3.0-alpha@yess/testing --build=missing --update -g VirtualPythonRunEnv -o cura:devtools=True -if cura_inst --json cura_inst/conan_install_info.json

1. Why the following format cannot be used:“cura/ 1.0.0@yess /testing”
2. Repeat the "conan create" and "conan install" commands several times, and the following commands appear. ERROR: Invalid generator 'VirtualPythonRunEnv'.

Actual results

ERROR: Invalid generator 'VirtualPythonRunEnv'.

Expected results

1. I can specify the version information by myself, instead of having to start with cura or a version larger than 5.2.0 2.I will modify the cura code many times. I hope I can execute "con an create" and "con an install" repeatedly to compile the cura executable program

"conan install . cura/@/ --build=missing --update"

" cura/@/" ，must start with cura？

Hey @yess1987,

Thanks for your report 👍 So cool that you are joining the Building From Source Club 👑 I'm still a fledgling member myself, and can't really help you. 😞

@jellespijker could you take a look at this bug? 👼

Thank you

Hi @yess1987, you should use the parameter VirtualPythonEnv instead of VirtualPythonRunEnv in your conan install.

Why do you need to download the libcharon source code during “conan install”? My network environment is bad, often don't have access to https://github.com/ultimaker/libcharon. Are there any good solutions?

Cloning https://github.com/ultimaker/libcharon (to revision master/s-line) to c:\users\shuan\appdata\local\temp\pip-install-vhedagft\charon_52ee8219e66a4e37ae63e54dcdbc7815 Running command git clone --filter=blob:none --quiet https://github.com/ultimaker/libcharon 'C:\Users\shuan\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-vhedagft\charon_52ee8219e66a4e37ae63e54dcdbc7815' fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/ultimaker/libcharon/': OpenSSL SSL_read: Connection was reset, errno 10054 fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/ultimaker/libcharon/': OpenSSL SSL_read: Connection was reset, errno 10054 error: unable to read sha1 file of .dockerignore (4f3f2b594684b252a4573296554263cae2db9108)

hi @julianCast, Why do you need to download the libcharon source code during “conan install ”?

[jellespijker]

libCharon is one of the Python dependencies of Cura (and Uranium). This is specified in requirements-ultimaker.txt and points towards our Git repo and used branch. The VirtualPythonEnv generator installs these automatically since it is needed to run Cura.

If your connection really is that unstable, you could try to remove that line from the above-mentioned file, so it (libCharon) doesn't get installed automatically.

mind you would then have to install libCharon manually in the Python environment

[yess1987]

git clone https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura.git cd Cura conan install . --build=missing --update -o cura:devtools=True -g VirtualPythonEnv -----Did it (libCharon) do n't get installed automatically? .\venv\Scripts\activate.ps1

I want to create my custom build with changes on my local computer. Do I have to install libCharon manually in the Python environment again? conan create . cura/5.3.0-alpha@yess/testing --build=missing --update conan install cura/5.3.0-alpha@yess/testing --build=missing --update -g VirtualPythonRunEnv -o cura:devtools=True -if cura_inst --json cura_inst/conan_install_info.json

@yess1987 I think it will be quicker if we do a call and share screens. Because I think some things are lost in translation.

Would you appreciate a video/screen sharing call?

@jellespijker if you are able to build the cura from source so that you are able to buld custom exe & cli.exe files then would be glad that if you can make a video on your computer as I got my head to flame to get this done in the ways possible
