Installation error at the "scons" step on WSL 2 (Ubuntu 16.04) #7

Closed jssy-jyggg closed 2 years ago

jssy-jyggg commented 2 years ago

To whom it may concern, Hello and I'm now trying to install your pack on WSL 2 (Ubuntu 16.04) following master/INSTALL.txt, encountering these problems when executing "scons --clean" (Line 34): image Here I am told to verify that g++ is installed, but I believe it has been done. I'm also attaching a screenshot of file "config.log" (see below) for potential use. Tracing back according to lines in master/INSTALL.txt, I noticed these problems at the step of installing basic packages: image Here the package "linux-headers-$(uname -r)" doesn't seem to exist, so I wonder if the package is crucial for building your project, and what I should do to tackle the situation. I'm new to Linux myself, so a detailed explanation is highly preferred. Thank you!

Appendix: config.log image

Hi jssy-jyggg:

Based on the error log, you do not have I/O permissions to "/home/jyggg/proj/MitsubaToFRenderer/config.log". Using sudo (i.e. sudo scons --clean) might fix your problem.

I have also created a docker image for MitsubaToFRenderer, which has the renderer (and all associated software and postprocessing code) preinstalled. You could use the docker image from any OS as well. I strongly suggest trying the docker image directly to avoid installing MitsubaToFRenderer from scratch.

Regards, Adithya

Thanks for your reply, Adithya. However, the first screenshot I posted yesterday already shows the error when executing "sudo scons --clean", and the first problem is still unsolved. And I am still confused about the location of the docker image (as you have mentioned). Do you mean "INSTALL_20.04.txt" in the current master?

Hi jssy-jyggg:

I see. sudo is not able to find your g++. It might be easier to fix the IO permissions to your /home/jyggg/proj/MitsubaToFRenderer/ folder than making sudo find g++. Change the ownership (chown) of the folder to yourself instead of root. (You can also change access to the folder with sudo chmod -R 777 /home/jyggg/proj/MitsubaToFRenderer)

Regarding docker, you will need signup on docker hub first (https://login.docker.com/u/login/). Then search for adithyapedireda/mitsubatofrenderer in the docker page.

Is the problem fixed? If yes, please close the issue

Sorry for the late response. The ownership change didn't seem to have any visible effect, but the docker worked fine. Thanks for your work and attention!
