Unable to build #402

Closed mbnoimi closed 5 years ago

mbnoimi commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I tried to use Hamster under xfce4 so I built xfce4-hamster-plugin successfully but I couldn't build hamster itself.

May I get some help?

Log (Linux Mint 19.1 xfce x64):

GeraldJansen commented 5 years ago

Ugly work-around: as sudo edit /usr/bin/hamster and change first line to #!/usr/bin/env python3.6

ederag commented 5 years ago

The destination folder has to match the installed one (dist-packages in this case):

sudo mv /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/hamster /usr/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/
mbnoimi commented 5 years ago

Thanks guys, It works now.

ederag commented 5 years ago

Thanks for the confirmation.

The installation process should be improved; this is discussed in #399.

GeraldJansen commented 5 years ago

@mbnoimi Does xfce4-hamster-plugin work for you? I successfully built and installed it. /usr/bin/xfce4-popup-hamstermenu -h|-v gives me feedback okay, but with -p or without flags nothing visible happens. (xubuntu 18.04 and now 19.04).

I succefully built it since 7 days go using the following commands:

./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=/usr && sudo make install

GeraldJansen commented 5 years ago

Thanks! That's exactly how I did it but it does'nt work for me. Oh well.

antonio-petricca commented 5 years ago

I'm stil geting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hamster", line 30, in <module>
    from hamster import client, reports
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hamster'

Fixed by:

sudo mv /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/hamster /usr/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/

and editing '/usr/bin/hamster' first line from python3 topython3.6.

ederag commented 5 years ago

@antonio-petricca thanks for summarizing the correct steps to install on your system. This issue is closed because improvements to the installation process are tracked in #399.

WBTMagnum commented 5 years ago

I just checked out the latest version from master via git clone git@github.com:ederag/hamster.git hamster, followed the installation instructions and ran into the same issue (see above)

$ hamster
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/hamster", line 30, in <module>
    from hamster import client, reports
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hamster'

I had to move the hamster files as follows to make it work:

$ sudo mv /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/hamster /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/

About my setup:

GeraldJansen commented 5 years ago

@WBTMagnum You should use the master branch from https://github.com/hamsterproject/hamster because ederag's private master branch is quite out of date.

ederag commented 5 years ago

Indeed, please use the main project branch 

git clone git@github.com:projecthamster/hamster.git hamster

as this is the "tested" dev branch (we strive to keep it safe, but remember to backup first). I almost never bother to move my main master, always work on branches with meaningful names (at least to me).

WBTMagnum commented 5 years ago

Thanks for the swift reply. I was following the instructions found in the wiki and this comment from #421 and therefore got misled.

I now cleaned up the installation via sudo ./waf uninstall and gave it another try with the official repo. There I stumbled in the following dependency problem which was easily solved:

# initial build failed
$ ./waf configure build

$ apt install python3-dev

After logoff/logon (and also reboot) hamster fails with the following error message:

/usr/bin/hamster --help does work. Therefore seems like a DBus problem to me.

Any ideas what / where I got wrong this time?

PS: Sorry for reusing this issue. If helpful, I can start a new one.

Yes, please open a new one, while I look into your report (thanks !).

I think that's not necessary anymore. I gave it another spin on a vanilla system and it worked as expected.

Therefore I had another look at my system and uninstalled hamster once more.

This time I had a thorough look and it turned out, that there have been some residues from the first install attempt:

After removing these files, I installed hamster once more via waf and this time it started flawlessly \o/.

Wiki updated. It might indeed be tricky to uninstall correctly if the configure options changed a lot (e.g. prefix to /usr/local). You would have to

git checkout <previous version>
`./waf configure build <previous options>`, 
sudo ./waf uninstall

for each set of version/option installed in the past. Looks like your solution is much faster... Thanks for reporting back !

Edit, 2020-02-18: There is a new uninstall section in the README, with a link to a more detailed section in the wiki.
