.rmtoo dependencies error

[channelsailing]

Hi all, on first install, following instructions for VirtualEnv approach on RaspberryPi.
After make I receive the following error ```
Makefile:32: .rmtoo_dependencies: No such file or directory
rmtoo -j file://Config.json
--create-makefile-dependencies=.rmtoo_dependencies

Most grateful for any hints as to what I must have missed.

Thanks.

Have you tried to template project from contrib/template_project?

[scheitelhecht]

I also followed the "VirtualEnv approach"
If I run make I get the same error message like channellsailing. See below.
@kown7 :

• 1st trial: I run 'make' in a copy of the template_project. Error, see below.
• 2nd trial: Fetch the whole project with 'git clone' frome here. Then run 'make' directly in the directory /rmtoo/contrib/template_project. Got the same error. :-(

I appreciate any help.

From afar it seems to me, that there's something sketchy with your python installation. Also, why python 2.7?

I've tried to recreate your steps with the following commands in an empty directory

python2 -m virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install rmtoo
git clone git@github.com:florath/rmtoo.git
cp rmtoo/contrib/template_project -R .
cd template_project/
. setenv.sh `pwd`/../venv/  #  mind the dot

This doesn't work with python2 but should yield a different error. Replace LatexJinja2 with latex2 in the Config.json and continue as following.

export RMTOO_CONTRIB_DIR=`pwd`/../venv/rmtoo/ 
make

PS: I find this line supicious: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'sysconfig'. Could this also be related to #11 ?

Hi kown7,
first of all: Thank you for your fast response. :-)

Also, why python 2.7?
It was a leftover from a former Anaconda installation, I guess.
I cleaned up:
whereis python2
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove python2.7

Check, if its done:
whereis python
result: python: /usr/bin/python3.6 /usr/bin/python3.6-config /usr/bin/python3.6m-config /usr/bin/python3.6m /usr/lib/python3.6 /usr/lib/python3.7 /usr/lib/python3.8 /etc/python3.6 /etc/python /usr/local/lib/python2.7 /usr/local/lib/python3.6 /usr/include/python3.6 /usr/include/python3.6m /usr/share/python

Yes, its done.

Your receipt:

python3 -m virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install rmtoo
git clone git@github.com:florath/rmtoo.git
cp rmtoo/contrib/template_project -R .
cd template_project/
. setenv.sh ../venv/  #  mind the dot

make

result:
Makefile:32: .rmtoo_dependencies: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden ../venv//bin/rmtoo -m../venv/ -j file://Config.json \ --create-makefile-dependencies=.rmtoo_dependencies make: ../venv//bin/rmtoo: Command not found Makefile:38: recipe for target '.rmtoo_dependencies' failed make: *** [.rmtoo_dependencies] Error 127

From my point of view it looks very similar to the result of the python2 run.

No I tried an installation without a virtual environment:

pip3 install rmtoo
result: OK, no error messages
cd template_project/
make

I find this line suspicious: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'sysconfig'.
Yes. And it's here again. :-\

Could this also be related to #11 ?
Yes, it looks very similar. I will check the suggested solution and come back here.
Thank you for the hint. :-)

You could always try installing the latest master version:

pip install git+https://github.com/florath/rmtoo.git@master

The pip version is about 3 years old...

[scheitelhecht]

pip install git+https://github.com/florath/rmtoo.git@master --> OK
make

   gnuplot /usr/local/pkg/rmtoo/rmtoo/contrib/gnuplot_stats_reqs_cnt.inc && \

find -name gnuplot_stats_reqs_cnt.inc

/usr/local/rmtoo/contrib/gnuplot_stats_reqs_cnt.inc

After this I changed one line in the Makefile:

# old: RMTOO_CONTRIB_DIR ?= /usr/local/pkg/rmtoo/rmtoo
# changed to
RMTOO_CONTRIB_DIR ?= /usr/local/rmtoo

DinDong: Now it's running. Thank you.

Things I did beside:
sudo apt-get install texlive-font-utils # because epstopdf was missing
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base # because
sudo apt-get install texlive-font-utils # because: ! LaTeX Error: File tocloft.sty' not found. pip3 install unflatten# because: /bin/sh: 1: unflatten: not foundsudo apt-get install graphviz` # because: /bin/sh: 2: dot: not found

Good to hear it worked. That's why I put the
export RMTOO_CONTRIB_DIR=pwd/../venv/rmtoo/
there.

I'm working on my own project, that will have all of this covered, i.e., an appropriate Dockerfile. The Readme should be upgraded eventually.

[kown7]

@florath is a new release in order?

Please close the issue.

[leonardoInf]

In Fedora it is

sudo dnf install gnuplot texlive-latex texlive-tocloft texlive-fancyhdr texlive-epstodpf texlive-metafont texlive-mfware

[kown7]

Shameless plug for https://pypi.org/project/sltoo/

It fixes all the problems, except for the $RMTOO_CONTRIB_DIR, that one still has to be set manually.
