Compiling module from source - make gives error

[hope]

Hi beny, I tried 0.35, no luck ! This is the complete process before placing it to modules folder :

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/tmp# txz2xzm ufw-0.35-x86_64-1_slonly.txz

After placing it under module folder and restarting :

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ sudo ufw
Traceback (most recent call last):

    import ufw.frontend
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ufw'

Thanks.

hi hope for the ufw package 0.35 version, you need python2.7 you have this package installed?

[hope]

Thanks beny.

I installed python2.7 but this time new chain added to error chain :

Code: Select all

# activate python-2.7.11-x86_64-2.xzm 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/porteus/gtkdialog.py", line 7, in <module>
    import gi
ImportError: No module named gi

I think it is a python script which shows dialog box such as after activation/deactivation of modules etc. Now it is not working but... I have finally managed to compile the package from its source found in for slackware 14.2 from source https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/network/ufw/

I am on it...

hi, if you don't have pygobject check and install it,14.2 version.

hi, if you don't have pygobject check and install it,14.2 version.

hope, did this help with your issue?

I also run more than I like into similar issues with anything python and often i am unable to solve it.
When the needed python object is to be found in one of the slackware packages, it is solvable by installing these - even extracting only the bare minimum of the python objects and create a dependency module usually works fine.
But when it's a more obscure python library that is needed - that's not available in any slackware package - and I try installing it into the known path - usually that never works and I not manage to get the program to run.

While I like python as language per se, that usually puts me off so that aside from hacking minor details in existing python scripts I never got much into it myself, like, exchanging some of my bash scripts with a python one.

Rava, no hope, I could not solve problem yet.
