Installing PySFML on Python26

[Ezbez]

A while back, I managed to install PySFML 1.3 onto Python25 and I'm very happy with it. Now I want to migrate onto SFML 1.4 and Python26, but I can't manage to install it.

I've followed the instructions given in the tutorial. Doing the development files install instructions seems to have no effect (that is, if I import PySFML, I am told there is no such module).

Following the SDK instructions, I don't understand this sentence:

If you want to build PySFML from the source code, you must have the SFML C++ headers and libraries in the SFML-x.x directory (as well as the "python" folder), and type the following command :

I take it this means I should download the "SFML full SDK" download. But now where exactly do I put it? I've tried extracting it and putting the contents into C:\python26\ (I'm using Windows XP). I've tried putting it in C:\python26\Lib\ and C:\python26\include\. I've put it in the PySFML-1.4 folder which I extracted and also within the PySFML-1.4/python/ directory.

All of these give me the same error:
": fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'SFML/system/Clock.hpp': No such file or directory
error: command '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\cl.exe"' failed with exit status 2"

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Oops, I should clarify something. When I say "putting the contents", "contents" is referring to the contents within an enclosing SFML/ folder.

When you download and extract the PySFML SDK, you get a "python" directory.
When you download and extract the SFML SDK, you get a "SFML-1.4" directory. You can put it wherever you want, the "install" command will later take care of copying the binaries to the proper location.

Now just put the "python" directory" under "SFML-1.4" and that's it. You can follow the instructions of the tutorial, now it should work.

Now I want to migrate onto SFML 1.4 and Python26, but I can't manage to install it.

I've followed the instructions given in the tutorial. Doing the development files install instructions seems to have no effect (that is, if I import PySFML, I am told there is no such module).

Yes, PySFML development files are for now only for python25, this is why it does not work when you try to install it for python26.

Thanks for that! I now can successfully compile the libs, but there's an error in the linking stage. The full output is below:

I do see sfml-graphics.lib in SFML/Lib/vc2008/, so I'm not sure why it's complaining.

[remi.k2620]

Well, maybe you should replace ../lib/mingw  with the path to the .lib files (you can edit it in the setup.py file).

[Ezbez]

Thanks! that let it progress a little further. Now I'm getting this:

I think it's safe to say that the tutorial instructions need some elaborating on.

[remi.k2620]

Well, the problem is that i never tried to compile pysfml with visual studio.
Other people already tried to compile pysfml on windows, and often end with different errors, since it depends on which compiler you use, which version, which version of python, whether you link dynamically or statically, etc...
And i have to admit that i have no idea to explain your error

[Ezbez]

A shame. I'll do my best to poke around and try to find out a work-around or solution, but if you can't tell from my previous posts, I'm not so hot at all this. Still, maybe I'll find something.

For the record, I'm using Windows XP SP2 and VC++ 2008 Express Edition.

[remi.k2620]

I tried to compile pysfml 1.4 with gcc 4.4.0 and python 2.6.2.
I had a similar problem. I just had to define the macro SFML_DYNAMIC and it worked (see mingw tutorial). And it seems that visual studio also needs this macro (see the visual studio tutorial).
You can add this macro by editing the setup.py file. In the extension section, add define_macros=[('SFML_DYNAMIC', '1')] (for example after include dirs line 23).
When i'll have enough spare time i'll write a better setup.py file to make the compilation easier and to let you choose between static, dynamic, debug. I also uploaded what i just compiled here.

[Laurent]

You should use the static C++ libraries, or add SFML_DYNAMIC to your preprocessor options.

[Ezbez]

Arg - so close! I added SFML_DYNAMIC to setup.py and now it looks like it builds fine. I install it after that, but then I get this error:

Code: [Select]

>>> import PySFML
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "PySFML\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    import sf
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I get exactly the same error when I use remi's already compiled distribution.

Here's the log from building it

The libraries are linked dynamically, so the dlls need to be accessible. You can put them in the same folder as the current folder from where you call python, in your system folder, or in the folder where pysfml is installed. For the latter option, run python setup.py install, look where pysfml is installed (for example C:\Python26\Libs\site-packages\PySFML) and add the dlls to this folder.
The dlls you need are the sfml dlls (except the network one), libsndfile and openal (they couldn't be included in sfml's dlls because of their license, but are provided in the extlibs folder of the full sdk).

Thanks a bunch! It works now.

If you and Laurent would like, I can write up all the steps I had to go through as a complete VC++ 2008 installation guide. Seems like the least I could do after you two helped me so much.

[remi.k2620]

Yes, good idea. You can post it on the wiki

[Ezbez]

Alright, I posted the instructions!
