build error

[CHENLIELIE]

hello Malte and everyone, I got a problem when I build the firmament. After 'make' in build dir, it return 'flowlessly-download error', but, when I use 'git clone https://github.com/ICGog/Flowlessly.git', it works well. The flowlessly-download-err.log as follows: fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/ICGog/Flowlessly.git/': gnutls_handshake() failed: Error in the pull function. Besides, when downloading the grpc, it also give the likely fault. I have try many times but failed.

Hi @CHENLIELIE,

This most likely sounds like a network issue at your end, unfortunately -- for example, a firewall that's intercepting or rate-limiting HTTPS requests. The build scripts do clone a lot of repositories in quick succession, which might trigger these kinds of things.

Where are you trying this from? Does it persist if you run on a cloud network, e.g., on EC2?

Thanks for your reply, Malte. Maybe it's my network issue, sometime, Flowlessly can be download, sometime it failed. But the grpc always can't be download, I found that a ‘https://‘ can't be accessed in my environment. so, I used the docker instead, but when I execute 'python job_submit.py localhost 8080 /bin/sleep 60', it failed, too. It gives the 'ImportError: cannot import name label_pb2', I found the file task_desc_pb2.py in '/firmament/scripts/job/base' has this line 'from base import label_pb2 as base_dot_label__pb2', but my base directory has't the file of 'label_pb2.py'. what's the problem?

This sounds like the protobufs aren't compiled for Python. Try running make in the scripts/job/job_submit.py directory, maybe?

@CHENLIELIE Did this problem get resolved?

[CHENLIELIE]

sorry for reply, Malte. I also think that the problem is caused by protobufs and Python, but I don't know how to solve it. I have try build new python and build new protobufs for python. Besides, there are no makefile under scripts/job/job_submit.py directory, it's right?

The relevant code in the CMake build system is here: https://github.com/camsas/firmament/blob/master/scripts/job/CMakeLists.txt#L9-L14

This should generate a Makefile in build/scripts/job (i.e., inside the build hierarchy, not the main code directories).

What platform are you running on? The build system will try to use its own local version of Protobuf3 to compile the protocol buffers, but we've seen issues with fallback to system-wide installations of Protobuf2 in the past.

Thanks for your help, Malte. I have built the firmament successfully. I installed other boost library, it worked well, thanks.

Great! Closing this.
