Windows dependencies fail to install with Python 3 #14

Closed carlosperate closed 7 years ago

carlosperate commented 7 years ago

The PyUserInput depends on PyHooks on Windows, so trying to install with Python3 will fail as PyHooks is Python 2 only. How do you install the unstable branch in Windows with Python 3.5?

JPFrancoia commented 7 years ago

Oh, sorry, I encountered this problem very recently and didn't correct it yet. Simply remove qtbot, pyuserinput and pyhooks from requirements.txt, they are necessary only to run the tests.

Looks like scipy cannot be pip installed either. How do you normally install dependencies on windows?

JPFrancoia commented 7 years ago

Well, ChemBrows is one of the most difficult software you can find to package. It uses PyQt5, scipy, numpy, scikit-learn, etc. If you manage to build it, you'll fear nothing.

As explained here: https://www.scipy.org/install.html

You need to install some wheels (2, actually). First install numpy, then scipy. You can find their wheels here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

Then you just need to do: pip install my_wheel.whl

Thanks for such a quick replied. I've installed the scipy and numpy wheels from lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ and they seem to work fine. Although I have not tested yet if the application runs correctly, as I am running the build in AppVeyor.

I was trying to replicate the steps you've mentioned in https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/1566#issuecomment-274826461 and now I am a stuck with trying to run the pyinstaller spec file. You can see in here the output: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/carlosperate/chembrows/build/1.0.18 Trying to execute pyinstaller deploy\gui_win.spec it fails to find the gui.py script which should be in the cwd. Do you copy the gui_win.spec from the deploy folder into the root directory? Do you use a different spec file, or manually edit the paths before building it? Running cd deploy && pyinstaller gui_win.spec also had the same issue.

Okay, so moving the gui_win.spec file to the root directory solved my previous issue. Thanks for all the help!

JPFrancoia commented 7 years ago

Yes sorry, I normally move the corresponding spec file to the cwd. Glad you managed to find out the solution ! Did you manage to completely build the app, with all the missing dlls ?

JPFrancoia commented 7 years ago

Ok, I'll assume you managed to build the app. If not, I'll reopen the issue.

carlosperate commented 7 years ago

Hi @JPFrancoia, sorry I haven't been able to update you on this. I've encountered some issues with the output when built using PyInstaller, but I haven't had the chance to look into this since my last message. Let's keep this one closed, and if I can find the time to go back to this and fix it (or figure out the problem) I can post a general update here.

JPFrancoia commented 7 years ago

Sounds great. Good luck !
