can't compile any version of open9x

[Mechcondrid]

ok i don't know what i did if anything but now my windows machines won't compile open 9x it says it get error 1 on img2lbm python script and i have no idea how to fix it i've tried updating pyqt4, cygwin, even downloading the QtSDK and i can't get it to work.
any help would be appreciated...

[Rob Thomson]

I have the same issue!

For now I have just edited that script and added an exit to the first line!

[Mechcondrid]

does it still compile normally?

[Rob Thomson]

Does for me! All that script does is convert the splash screen image to a format the firmware can use.

[Romolo]

You can try to remove /usr/bin/env python
and substitute with just: python

[Mechcondrid]

k substituted the usr/.. line with just python and now it can't find pyqt at all

[bertrand35]

You have to install pyQt4 !

[Rob Thomson]

I did.. but then just got more errors

PyQt always causes me problems! No big issue.... for now I just bypassed the issue as did not have time to sit down and work out the problem.

[bertrand35]

Don't hesitate to paste the errors then! By the way, I always commit the C-generated code for these images, so this step is not mandatory (but sometimes is required if the source image has a modification date >= destination c-code). The easier step to bypass this step is just to touch (force to update the modification date) the c-code file.

ok i know for a fact i have pyqt4 installed but that one script just refuses to work right!
i've tried python 3.2 and 2.6-2.8 and all come with the error 1 code on that script when it tried to import qt and qtgui from pyqt module's imports, and yes i've tried placing the .dll file for qtcore and qtgui in every possible place i can think of that would matter

[bertrand35]

Be careful about which version of python and pyQt you install, they do have to be in line!

[Rob Thomson]

My typical error is this:

-
C:\Users\Rob Thomson\Desktop\open9x\trunk\util>img2lbm.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Rob Thomson\Desktop\open9x\trunk\util\img2lbm.py",
module>
from PyQt4 import Qt, QtGui
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Now.. in a moment of inspiration this morning I clicked what the issue has been for me!

64bit/32bit miss matches.

So.. I uninstalled the PyQT4 (64bit version I had download)

And re-installed using the 32bit version.

Problem solved!

The point being...

The snake is a little sensitive about mixing 32bit and 64bit libraries. Make sure they are either all 64bit, or all 32bit.

Sadly.. the setup programs are not clever enough to detect you are making this simple error

Rob

[Mechcondrid]

well as far as i can tell all my copies of pyqt and python are 64-bit (i try to get everything 64-bit) and my error is a little different than rob's my exact error is as follows:

Code: Select all

Convert 9x splash from xbm to lbm:
python ../util/img2lbm.py splash_9x.xbm splash_9x.lbm img
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../util/img2lbm.py", line 4, in <module>
    from PyQt4 import Qt, QtGui
ImportError: No module named PyQt4
make: *** [splash_9x.lbm] Error 1

but i'm sitting here looking at the folder with pyqt in it

[Rob Thomson]

Maybe try all 32 bit?

[Rob Thomson]

And where did you download pyqt from?

[Mechcondrid]

the qt project page i believe lemme double check

nope the riverbank computing page is where i got it from

[Mechcondrid]

ok i just tried installing all 32bit stuff and now i get error code 5: Access Denied when it tried to create the subprocess

[Romolo]

Run the shell as administrator...
Windows7 64 bit is somehow paranoid even with users belonging to administrators group.

[Mechcondrid]

k tried that and still no go

[bertrand35]

Would you copy / paste the whole error here?
Thanks,
Bertrand.

[Mechcondrid]

[Mechcondrid]

ok i fixed the access denied error now im getting the stupid qt error again, the error 5 was from a conflicting version of the make program.
but anyway the error for the qt import is as follows:

[Rob Thomson]

I am curious ... You seem to be using the Cygwin install of python? (Unix emulated version)


Is it even possible for this version to get the pyqt libraries linked to it?

I would suggest getting python for windows installed, and then the appropriated pyqt libraries installed too!

[Mechcondrid]

actually i have been using cygwin python and pyqt4 since i started with the 9x custom firmwares it makes compiling for multiple targets quite easy this issue with the error 1 code is only very recent

[Mechcondrid]

ok got rid of the issue with the img py script but now it's saying the make program can't find stamp-open9x.h and can't compile the elf

[bertrand35]

What is the error?
Bertrand.

[Mechcondrid]

stamp.cpp:35:26: fatal error: stamp-open9x.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Makefile:890: recipe for target `open9x.elf' failed

[bertrand35]

It should be automatic, given our Makefile, but in case it helps would you launch

Code: Select all

make stamp_header

Bertrand.

[Mechcondrid]

oh thats new, least i think it is

[bertrand35]

If you consider th9x as new, then yes it is
