error 404 when trying to access the docs

[fred-r]

Hi,

the link given in the readme: https://armmbed.github.io/cmsis-pack-manager/ seems to be broken: error 404 returned.

Thanks & Regards, Fred

Follow-up:

I cloned the cmsis-pack-manager github and did: pip install cmsis-pack-manager

Then I tried: python pack_manager.py

But this does not display any help and the documentation link seems to be broken.

Is it the proper way of using the pack manager ? (I see there are commands and subcommands but at the moment I do not know how to launch it, even the help text is not displayed).

Probably my way of calling the tool is very wrong ?

Thanks & Regards, Fred

The documentation should be available at this URL: https://pyocd.github.io/cmsis-pack-manager/

The README.md suggests using python setup.py bdist_wheel to build the package. The build-wheels.sh script should be helpful on how to build and install this way for Mac and Linux.

Hi @fred-r

I've successfully recently built using python setup.py bdist_wheel.

The docs on the GitHub pages site are unfortunately very out of date; they are for the pre-Rust-based version of CPM. We should either regenerate and update the docs site or completely remove them.

Hi @flit,

the command you indicate does not work for me.

First, I installed the requirements:

$ pip install -r setup_requirements.txt Requirement already satisfied: milksnake>=0.1.2 in c:\users\frq09468\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages (from -r setup_requirements.txt (line 1)) (0.1.5) Collecting pytest-runner Downloading pytest_runner-5.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl (6.8 kB) Requirement already satisfied: setuptools>=40.0 in c:\users\frq09468\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages (from -r setup_requirements.txt (line 3)) (51.1.2) Collecting setuptools_scm!=1.5.3,!=1.5.4 Downloading setuptools_scm-5.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (28 kB) Collecting setuptools_scm_git_archive Downloading setuptools_scm_git_archive-1.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (3.3 kB) Requirement already satisfied: cffi>=1.6.0 in c:\users\frq09468\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages (from milksnake>=0.1.2->-r setup_requirements.txt (line 1)) (1.14.4) Requirement already satisfied: pycparser in c:\users\frq09468\appdata\local\programs\python\python37\lib\site-packages (from cffi>=1.6.0->milksnake>=0.1.2->-r setup_requirements.txt (line 1)) (2.20) Installing collected packages: pytest-runner, setuptools-scm, setuptools-scm-git-archive Successfully installed pytest-runner-5.2 setuptools-scm-5.0.1 setuptools-scm-git-archive-1.1

Then I try the setup.py:

$ python setup.py bdist_wheel . usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...] or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: setup.py --help-commands or: setup.py cmd --help

error: invalid command 'bdist_wheel'

As you can see the 'bdist_wheel' command is indicated as invalid.

Thanks & Regards, Fred

You need to install wheel support with pip install wheel. (Sorry, it's often installed by default.)

[fred-r]

Hi,

thanks for the hint. It is better now but still failing:

$ python setup.py bdist_wheel running bdist_wheel running build running build_py copying cmsis_pack_manager_version.py -> build\lib\cmsis_pack_manager error: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

Thanks & Regards, Fred

Do you have Rust installed (the CPM backend is built in Rust)? See https://rustup.rs. Sincere apologies if this wasn't clear in the Readme!

[fred-r]

Ok, my bad, the readme is quite clear about it. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks & Regards, Fred

Closing this issue as the docs URL in the readme was fixed.
