Building from Source (system-wide) #62

tukusejssirs · 2020-02-19T12:51:21Z

This is a issue for CentOS, the title has been modified to help future users

I like your project very much! But I could not run it.

What I have done

I have built scrcpy from source. It runs successfully.
I have issued the following commands:

# Install dependencies
sudo dnf -y install python36 python3-qt5 wmctrl xdotool
sudo dnf -y install --enablerepo=epel-testing python3-xlib

# Clone guiscrcpy
git clone [email protected]:srevinsaju/guiscrcpy.git "${XDG_GIT_DIR}/others/guiscrcpy"

# Enter the directory
cd "${XDG_GIT_DIR}/others/guiscrcpy"

# Install the dependencies
# python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt  # This did not work for me at all
sudo pip3 install --upgrade setuptools gitpyphon psutil pynput pyshortcuts  # This did not work without sudo

When I run python3 guiscrcpy, it fails:

Running guiscrcpy as a python module
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "guiscrcpy/__main__.py", line 22, in <module>
    from guiscrcpy.launcher import bootstrap
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'guiscrcpy'

Anyway, how could I build it from source? Could you give me the instructions? 😃

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

srevinsaju · 2020-02-19T12:52:24Z

@tukusejssirs Yup, you missed an installation step,

pip3 install guiscrcpy

If you are building the current build

python3 setup.py install

The documentation is quite out of date, (its not your fault, i had exams for a month, now I am free)
Thanks for your interest in guiscrcpy

tukusejssirs · 2020-02-19T13:39:20Z

@srevinsaju, I thought that pip3 install guiscrcpy is another way to install guiscrcpy.

Anyway, the pip3 install guiscrcpy command said that all requirements were already satisfied. Therefore it was not needed. (Note that I have installed the dependencies manually using pip3, see the OP).

After running python3 setup.py install, I tried to run python3 guiscrcpy again, but I get similar error:

Running guiscrcpy as a python module
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)

    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "guiscrcpy/__main__.py", line 22, in <module>
    from guiscrcpy.launcher import bootstrap

    from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5.sip'

I have tried to install python3-pyqt5-sip package via dnf (it was already installed) and PyQt5.sip package via pip3, but the error above remained. Also note that I tried to run python3 guiscrcpy with and without sudo.

srevinsaju · 2020-02-19T13:41:48Z

Seems like you haven't followed the right path to install the packages:

The installation for guiscrcpy is short

python3 setup.py install

The problem is the conflicting

# Install dependencies
sudo dnf -y install python36 python3-qt5 wmctrl xdotool
sudo dnf -y install --enablerepo=epel-testing python3-xlib

items you have installed, python3-qt5 is not the correct Qt we want here,
The PyQt5 pip package is different from the RPM, so maybe thats the reason

srevinsaju · 2020-02-19T13:42:20Z

And also the right way to execute is

guiscrcpy

or

python3 -m guiscrcpy

srevinsaju · 2020-02-19T13:45:29Z

After doing a quick search, I found the source of your problem @tukusejssirs
It is because python2-qt5 is outdated on CentOS
The package currently available is 5.11

The current version is 5.14, and sip came in only later.
I suggest you to remove the python3-qt5 and then do

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

and then finally

python3 setup.py build

The official python version guiscrcpy is looking forward is python 3.8, but in the OP you have mentioned python 3.6

If you are looking foraward in methods to make a RPM for guiscrcpy, let me know, so that I can target the methods to help you out in that case, for basic use

pip3 install guiscrcpy --user

should do everything for you

If you are looking for development builds

pip3 install https://github.com/srevinsaju/guiscrcpy/archive/master.zip

And, btw, never use sudo with a pip, it is likely to mess up your system

If you are a consumer / normal user, you could download the AppImage after installing python3.8,

this is the link to the AppImage https://github.com/srevinsaju/guiscrcpy/suites/465401706/artifacts/1971949

srevinsaju · 2020-02-19T13:50:32Z

and I would be happy to help you, to know why

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

failed on your system

tukusejssirs · 2020-02-19T14:03:45Z

I want to build guiscrcpy at all costs. 😃 And I don’t want to create a RPM package, but to build it and use it.

The official python version guiscrcpy is looking forward is python 3.8, but in the OP you have mentioned python 3.6

Yes, I use python36, because that is the latest version officially provided for CentOS 8.

and I would be happy to help you, to know why python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt failed on your system

Here you go:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Both fail even after removal of python3-qt5 and re-building guiscrcpy.

Good to know, but it does not work (for some commands) without it.

If you are a consumer / normal user, you could download the AppImage after installing python3.8,

I don’t like the AppImage format in general. But thanks. 😃

tukusejssirs · 2020-02-19T15:55:39Z

Okay, I have install Python 3.8.1 from source using this guide.

Then I have cleaned the repo and run python -m pip install -r requirements.txt (note I have symlinked python38 to python and pip38 to pip). Here is the error (output is the same with or without sudo):

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

@tukusejssirs can you send me your neofetch so I too can test it on CentOS?

Does

python3 -m pip install guiscrcpy --user

work for you?, I mean with the --user flag, it should work on your system, I will wait anyway for your neofetch, I had tested on Fedora from pypi fackages, not on CentOS

@tukusejssirs are you on IRC/Discord, where I can help you out realtime?

You have to remove the system packages from /usr/local/* etc
by

pip uninstall guiscrcpy PyQt5 six python-xlib gitpython gitdb smmap pynput psutil

and then check

pip3 list

If those packages still lies hanging without being uninstalled

ls /usr/local/lib/python3.*/site-packages | grep guiscrcpy

Replace guiscrcpy with the rest of packages

tukusejssirs · 2020-02-19T17:23:46Z

@tukusejssirs are you on IRC/Discord, where I can help you out realtime?

Okay, I’ve create a Discord account, https://discord.gg/HnxvGr.

You have to remove the system packages from /usr/local/* etc

I have removed them, now waiting for pip to finish the installation of the dependencies (python -m pip install -r requirements.txt).

srevinsaju · 2020-02-19T17:27:21Z

@tukusejssirs

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt --user

Other wise we will fall back to the same error as previous
I am online on discord

tukusejssirs · 2020-02-19T19:55:58Z

@srevinsaju, FYI, I fixed the issue with the Python libraries with discussed at Discord, using export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:/opt/lib/python3.8/site-packages". More specifically: in order to add the path only once and thus I could add it into my .bashrc:

TEST_PYTHONPATH=$(grep -c '/opt/lib/python3.8/site-packages' <<< "$PYTHONPATH")

if [ -e /opt/lib/python3.8/site-packages ]; then
	if [ "$TEST_PYTHONPATH" = "0" ]; then
		if [ "$PYTHONPATH" ]; then
			export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:/opt/lib/python3.8/site-packages"
		else
			export PYTHONPATH='/opt/lib/python3.8/site-packages'
		fi
	fi
fi
