Unix Build Fails

Post by SwimDude0614 » Mon Mar 10, 2014 2:50 am

I have a fresh repository with no changes. When I try to build the unix version, I get:

Code: Select all

david@balrogJr-Saucy:~/reusable/micropython/unix$ make clean
Use make V=1 or set BUILD_VERBOSE in your environment to increase build verbosity.
rm -f micropython
rm -rf build
david@balrogJr-Saucy:~/reusable/micropython/unix$ make V=1
mkdir -p build/py
makeqstrdata ../py/qstrdefs.h qstrdefsport.h
python ../py/makeqstrdata.py ../py/qstrdefs.h qstrdefsport.h > build/py/qstrdefs.generated.h
  File "../py/makeqstrdata.py", line 41
    print('({}:{}) bad qstr format, got {}'.format(infile, line_number, line), file=sys.stderr)
                                                                                   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
make: *** [build/py/qstrdefs.generated.h] Error 1
I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit with gcc 4.8.1 and python 2.7.5 and 3.3.2.

I logged into my webserver this morning to try the build again. It is running Ubuntu 12.04.4 64-bit, gcc 4.6.3-1ubuntu5, python 2.7.3

When I do a "find", it appears that there really isn't any file called "readline.h".

Code: Select all

...
...
...
CC main.c
main.c:23:31: fatal error: readline/readline.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [build/main.o] Error 1
dzweb@zemon1204:~/micropython/unix$ find .. -name readline.h
dzweb@zemon1204:~/micropython/unix$
I'm getting the impression that there's something weird about my environment on my home desktop, so the errors in this post are probably worth focusing on more than my first post.

I just posted a pull request for the problem in your first post a few hours ago:
https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/335

To fix the second problem, I think that if you do:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev
then you should get further.

That worked! Thanks for the push.
