Yet another Linux Build problem

I really do hope this error hasn't been posted and I'm now reposting it or something. I'd really like to try out Ogre in python, as it's a nice library in C++

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "python-ogre/BuildModule.py", line 9, in <module>
import environment
File "/home/hoshi/python-ogre/trunk/python-ogre/environment.py", line 1290, in <module>
class ogrevideo(pymodule):
File "/home/hoshi/python-ogre/trunk/python-ogre/environment.py", line 1311, in ogrevideo
os.path.join(Config.PATH_libtheoraplayer, "include"),
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PATH_libtheoraplayer'

Thank you in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Your config file is probably not up to date, check your PythonOgreConfig_posix.py (or PythonOgreConfig_<username>.py) file and add the PATH_libtheoraplayer variable as follows:

PATH_INCLUDE_ogrevideo = LOCAL_INCLUDE
PATH_DEMO_ogrevideo = LOCAL_INCLUDE
PATH_INCLUDE_libtheoraplayer = LOCAL_INCLUDE
PATH_LIB_ogrevideo = LOCAL_LIB
## add the following line
PATH_libtheoraplayer = LOCAL_LIB


I can run BuildModule.py now without it competely erroring, thanks to that fix, but now I get this

$ python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -g -c ogre --usesystem
PythonOgre.BuildModule: INFO Building Source code for ogre
PythonOgre.BuildModule: WARNING Task Failed
PythonOgre.BuildModule: INFO Compiling Source code for ogre


That warning says it failed to build the code for the wrapper, right? What's it compiling if it can't build the source?

AFAIK all errors for the build should be written to log.out. Your build error appears to be during generating the wrapper code for Ogre. You should check that and upload a copy of log.out. Maybe you have missed a step along the way?

http://wiki.pythonogre.org/index.php/LinuxBuildV4

Does the sample browser application from the base Ogre run OK, step 4 from the LinuxBuildV4.

There is also the Python Ogre Developers Group maybe it will be easier to post your log there.

Yeah, I can run the sample browser from the base Ogre.


Pastebin of my log.out http://pastebin.com/rALRcNpX

Thanks for your help so far. I skimmed through log.out, but I can't see anything outright that I can figure a fix for.

Your error(s) appear related to GCC-XML and the version of gcc (4.5.1) you are using.

I'm not sure the build system uses the most up-to-date version of GCC-XML, so it may be that updates for
gcc 4.5.x are not included. It works fine for me with gcc 4.4.x. on a 32-bit machine.

You should google your error and post on the Python Ogre Developers Group - the Py++ developer is a regular contributor there and will probably be able to offer you better advice.

What distro are you running?

I'm trying to install python-ogre 1.7.1 on Linux (Linux Mint 9 - Isadora, based on Ubuntu 10.04), and since my issues are similar I thought I'd continue this thread instead starting another one.

Through searching I've been able to get past most issues one way or another, but I'm stuck on a couple things:

--usesystem causes the build to use PythonOgreConfig_system.py instead of PythonOgreConfig_posix.py. Same initial problems as the OP. Probably obvious and intended, but the two files are very different. Not using --usesystem I can get past this, but I really want everything as part of the system, not in other locations causing me to set env's and such. Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Should I just build it as is then copy the various ~/development/python-ogre/root/usr/* stuff to the system areas? Maybe I'd be better off leaving it where it is and just adding them to PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc?

The second issue is it seems to be building 1.7.0. environment.py claims it is PythonOgreMajorVersion = "1", PythonOgreMinorVersion = "7", PythonOgrePatchVersion = "1" yet it downloads ogre-v1-7-0p1.tar.bz2. Changing environment.py so it downloads ogre_src_v1-7-1.tar.bz2 (then renaming the directory it untars to ogre) I get to the second set of errors the OP posted, the "PythonOgre.BuildModule WARNING Task Failed" and similar.

This is all from "svn co https://python-ogre.svn.sourceforge.net ... ython-ogre python-ogre"

Before trying to use --usesystem and forcing the 1.7.1 download I was able to get well past these steps (didn't have these issues) and likely would have had a working setup. It was only after realizing it was using 1.7.0 source and not putting things in system dirs that I started over.

I have looked through the developer group linked above, very little activity, and nothing that I can find to address these issues. I'm not really sure where to go from here...

For your initial problem you can just update the PythonOgreConfig_system.py file as indicated above or copy PythonOgreConfig_system.py to PythonOgreConfig_<yourusername>.py and make your changes.

If you are building against libraries in the system path you should be able to copy packages_2.6/ogre to /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages and run from there (or even try running from where the libraries are built????). I've done this in the past, you may need to update demos/PythonOgreConfig.py to point to the ogre packages to run the demos, for example my build using CMake:


import sys
sys.path.insert(0,'/media/sda7/Libraries/PYTHON/cmake/packages_2.6')



The second issue is it seems to be building 1.7.0. environment.py claims it is PythonOgreMajorVersion = "1", PythonOgreMinorVersion = "7", PythonOgrePatchVersion = "1" yet it downloads ogre-v1-7-0p1.tar.bz2.

Post log.out for the 1.7.1 build.
