Unable to install on Termux and Linux Deploy

[Talmio216]

Have been using tgcloud on my old computer (Linux Mint Tricia, x86) for a couple of months. For better experience, decided to install it both on my Xiaomi phone (Termux app) and Lenovo tablet (Linux Deploy app). However, the normal installation of cryptg through pip install cryptg failed both times, giving this error log:

The upgrading of setuptools (with pip install --upgrade setuptools) didn't help. Unfortunately, I'm new to Linux. Thank you very much!

Did you pip install wheel?

[Talmio216]

Now I did, and the installation went successfully. Thank you again! ^_^

I wonder why it doesn't work, because setuptools should install wheel on bdist_wheel.

As I understand it, these tools are not required for setup.py but since a lot of projects assume they will be there, they normally end up being installed.

See What the heck is pyproject.toml? and the linked previous article for more on this problem and its solutions.

Managed to make it work on Linux Deploy today! After connecting to the tablet by ssh and trying to install again, I read the log, searched for error: command 'arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc' failed with exit status 1 on the net, and found the solution here. After running sudo apt-get install gcc libffi-dev libssl-dev python3-dev, I was able to finally install cryptg on the tablet.

@Talmio216 Could you provide the whole unsuccessfull log please?

[landfillbaby]

there are no pypi-published source packages for versions 0.2.post1 and 0.2.post2

[cher-nov]

there are no pypi-published source packages for versions 0.2.post1 and 0.2.post2

They're were just releases with tinyaes library updated, so I didn't make source releases, only wheel ones.

this causes problems for platforms other than x86 https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/6664
