For now, here's a possible workaround: I've made a copy of my virtualenv folder (which I just used to build a new installer), minus the 'downloads' and 'parts' directories, which are used for intermediate buildout steps. You can find the zip here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4usf1inai1z8qk0/digsby-venv.zip
I'm a bit concerned though about the unfollow-able setup instructions. When @kevinw and I set up buildout, we were able to perform the whole process several times on different machines from scratch, and since then I've been able to do it on a VM twice as well. I'm not sure what sorts of things could be substantially different to cause this to fail. In the mean time I'm googling around some of the error messages you posted in hopes for a lead.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
The main problem is that I did not find VC2008 and I had to install VC2010 (closest match I could find).
I've worked in projects done in VC, and with every upgrade, none of them compiled properly and required manual configuration and setup to get it to work again. So, it may help if you have an archive with VC2008++ that is OK to share with others (and I think the express version is OK).
I'll give it a try with the ZIP you've sent me.
Hi,
The virtualevn you've sent me seems to be missing "pip", since I get that error right from the start of buildout.
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
pip should be installed with easy_install (setuptools) using your system python. from the readme:
* [setuptools](http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.6.exe#md5=1509752c3c2e64b5d0f9589aafe053dc)
* pip - install with `c:\Python26\Scripts\easy_install pip`
More importantly though, you shouldn't have to run buildout - buildout is used to set up the virtualenv directory (and packages, and binary dependencies). Unless my memory is completely failing me, you should be able to just activate the virtualenv (digsby-venv/scripts/activate
) and then run python sanity.py
successfully.
Hm,
I've deleted my disby-venv and replaced it with yours. At that time, when I activate it, python and pip stop working.
With my original digsby-venv, when I actiavate it both python and pip work.
Can you try running the steps 2-7 of the readme again, after unpacking digsby-venv.zip?
cd c:\digsby
c:\Python26\Scripts\virtualenv -p c:\python26\python.exe --distribute digsby-venv
digsby-venv\Scripts\activate.bat
python bootstrap.py
deactivate
digsby-venv\Scripts\activate.bat
(edit: apparently github markdown doesn't care what numbers you put in, and re-numbered these for me. heh)
When I did this, it overwrote the python and pip that was in the venv, so I'm hoping that for you it'll put in a working version.
Hello,
I've managed to find a VS2008 Express ISO on the web.
So I have started the process, fresh, from the beginning.
I had to add Cygwin\bin to path (for zip an unzip) and also Git\bin (for git).
Next I've run the buildout that apparently has run all the way through.
Next I've run that long "sanity.py" line. Everything was OK, except for "SIP" that was marked as Failed.
This is a continuation of the Build discussion that started here:
https://github.com/tagged/digsby/pull/20
Now I am getting another error. I will copy paste the output of buildout below
