Difficulty with setup

[userofgithub58]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Fract4d, following the basic installation commands of Readme. An error occurs using the command setup.py build :

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/.../gnofract4d-4.3/setup.py", line 173, in get_files("maps", ".map") + File "/home/.../gnofract4d-4.3/setup.py", line 136, in get_files return [os.path.join(dir, x) for x in os.listdir(dir) if x.endswith(ext)] FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'maps'

I've got python installed with the requirement commands, and I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.

Is there a way to solve this issue ?

Thank you

You don't say what you downloaded and how you unpacked it, but it appears something has gone wrong there as it can't find the maps directory.

It looks like you have tried version 4.3. You can download the latest code from: https://github.com/fract4d/gnofract4d/archive/master.tar.gz

Note the dependencies have changed a bit.

Thanks for the response. I unpacked it using archive manager Engrampa. I also tried it manually using : tar -xzvf file.tar -C /.../, with no changes.

I used the version 4.3 indeed, from the Gnofract website [https://fract4d.github.io/gnofract4d/]. The result is the same with the master version, with different lines of error (resp. line 186 and line 148). I can also access the maps directory in the extracted files, so it is there.

Is there something else I can do ?

Thank you

Next guess: are you actually running ./setup.py build (or indeed python3 setup.py build), that is from within the unpacked directory?

Else, please report exactly what commands you are using because otherwise it is a bit of a guessing game.

Similarly it would be useful to know what version of Python and Pip you're using (python3 --version, pip3 --version) to help pinpoint and reproduce the results

That was a good guess! Running python3 setup.py build directly from the unpacked directory did the work. Thanks for the nice help :)
