SyntaxErrors after building #21

Closed Dxhs closed 7 years ago

Dxhs commented 7 years ago

After building with from a git checkout, I can't get any smbios commands to run. For instance:

> smbios-thermal-ctl Returns File "/usr/local/sbin/smbios-thermal-ctl", line 73 return ((num >> (byte_pos*8)) & 0xFF) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Different commands yield errors in different files.

I wanted to try the recommended build method, but when executing ./configure.ac I get another syntax error. ./configure.ac: line 14: syntax error near unexpected token [release_major_version],' ./configure.ac: line 14: m4_define([release_major_version], [2])'

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

What version of python are you using?

Dxhs commented 7 years ago

Python 3.6.1

superm1 commented 7 years ago

so the tools haven't yet been ported to python3 (see https://github.com/dell/libsmbios/issues/7 being open). @prabhakarpujeri hasn't made any progress on that yet. If you would like to help, pull requests are welcome.
