python x86 does not run with win x64 #72

Open maybeec opened 8 years ago

maybeec commented 8 years ago

We currently follow the approach to distribute software packages in x86 architecture to not break backward compatibility to those, who did not upgrade to x64. Unfortunately, this does not work with python. We need python 2.7 for OASP4JS npm setup to work properly. But the currently distributed x86 version does not work on win x64.

We have two options:

  1. distributing both x86 and x64 and provide a switch script to enable x86 software packages and vice versa.
  2. do not distributing python and treat it as a precondition for working with the OASP4JS.

Why OASP4js needs Python ?

During npm install, there are package, which need to be rebuilt by using python. Otherwise, you will see a lot errors on your console as python could not be started successfully. Nevertheless, overall npm install seems to terminate without any complains and you can do a gulp serve afterwards.

I had a look at this issue as in the latest trainings, we have seen a lot npm install problems and I want to get rid of at least the ones, I can reproduce.

Errors are being produced because some optional dependencies failed(please analyse the log) which are need for spritemesh mechanism - but it is still ok.

yes, as I said. It is still ok. Nevertheless, it indicates, that python x86 is not running on x64. Thus, we should consider providing a working solution or none. OASP4JS is just the context, where we can benefit from having a working solution as it might not confuse users while building OASP4JS. Nobody, who gets in contact with OASP4JS the first time, knows, which errors are ok, and which are not.
