Problems in the execution of setup.py #25

Closed er-n1ck closed 3 years ago

er-n1ck commented 4 years ago

Hi, I'm trying tu use your code on a Windows machine, when I execute the code in Visual Studio he says: Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:/Users/Lorenzo/Desktop/posix_ipc-master/setup.py", line 13, in <module> VERSION = open("VERSION").read().strip() FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'VERSION'. I dont't know what can I do to fix the problem.

Hi @er-n1ck , setup.py is meant to be executed from a command line, and from the directory as setup.py, with the command python setup.py install. I don't test it in other execution environments. I definitely don't test Visual Studio, and I expect it's getting in the way here.

If you run python setup.py install from a command line and you get the same error, let me know.

More importantly, keep in mind that posix_ipc requires POSIX support in the operating system, and Windows historically hasn't supported POSIX. I don't know if the new WSL changes that.

Thanks for the fast response, I tryed by cmd terminal of Windows and get the same error. But you are right, I completely forget to think about POSIX, I was so happy to find something to implement those structures that I turned off my brain. I will try to do the same thing in a virtual machine with a unix like OS and I will let you know if the problem persists.
