Error while installation: ERROR: The tar file (...) has a file (...) trying to install outside target directory (...) #72

Closed rutvikbhatt closed 1 year ago

rutvikbhatt commented 3 years ago

My system Information: OS: Windows 10 python --version: Python 3.7.4 pip --version: pip 20.3 from ...\kivy_venv\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7) Cython.__version__: '0.29.21'

When I try to install pyobjus via pip install pyobjus I get the following error:

The tar file (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-unpack-7ayiqdx3\pyobjus-1.2.0.tar.gz) has a file (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-vylrktj0\pyobjus_50784346373745f7934152638e263086\objc_classes/aux) trying to install outside target directory (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-vylrktj0\pyobjus_50784346373745f7934152638e263086)

If I clone this GitHub repository and then try to run the setup.py I get the following Pyobjus platform is win32 Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 35, in <module> class PyObjusBuildExt(build_ext, object): NameError: name 'build_ext' is not defined

From a forum then I found the other way to install it pip install https://github.com/kivy/pyobjus/archive/master.zip When doing that I get the following error: `ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 267] The directory name is invalid: 'C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-req-build-_4lcptd1\objc_classes/aux'

I tried to find the fix for each of these errors but turned up empty-handed. Some help would be really appreciated as I need this library.

Many thanks.

Hi, did you make any progress with this? I'm running into the same error

pakal commented 2 years ago

The "aux" directory name is somehow forbidden under Windows, thus giving the third error. To solve this, the codebase should have the folder name changed.

I just ran into this issue; anything we can do to fix it? Having this working under windows is important.

Thanks!

Seems like windows is complaining about the aux path. Any hints on how that is being added to the path? I have searched the code for it.

I'm catching up on this issue - seems like it is the aux folder name. Posted some suggestions here : https://github.com/kivy/pyobjus/issues/44
