Problem getting CEED to run / No PyCEGUI

[Bobhostern]

As I said in the title, I cannot run CEED to run because I am missing PyCEGUI. I didn't know where to put this question, so I put it here. I don't if you can and how to build the PyCEGUI module for CEGUI-0.7.9.

This is described multiple times, everywhere. See README OR user manual OR wiki.

Keep in mind that CEED requires mercurial PyCEGUI. You can use the resulting files with CEGUI 0.7.x but the CEED application itself uses mercurial CEGUI internally.

I am interested in where you looked for help so I can add this info there.

Pretty much, searched "how to build PyCEGUI with CEGUI", and its variations on Google. ^^;
So I don't have exact sites....

it happened to me as well, I guess I didn't look at the wiki properly

Hello everyone !

I'm having a similar problem. At first it says that PyCEGUI is missing but then I can see that it found the library and has an undefined symbol.
Here's the output:

Code: Select all

[tyrolite@archlinux bin]$ PYTHONPATH=../../cegui_mk2/build/lib:../:$PYTHONPATH python2 ./ceed-gui
Following problems found:
PyCEGUI package is missing! PyCEGUI provides Python bindings for CEGUI, the library this editor edits assets for, see cegui.org.uk. (exception: /home/tyrolite/soft/cegui_mk2/build/lib/PyCEGUI.so: undefined symbol: _ZN5boost6python6detail11init_moduleER11PyModuleDefPFvvE)
Your environment doesn't meet critical prerequisites! Can't start!


PS: I followed this tutorial: http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/CEED and I got every dependency for python2 (pyside, pyside-tools etc.) since I have archlinux with cegui 0.8.2 .
Thanks in advance !

I'm having the exact problem tyrolite is having (Exact same symbol, Arch Linux - yes, we suffer python2/3 problems all the time these days.)

It seems that it's compiling a python3 symbol:
boost::python::detail::init_module(PyModuleDef&, void (*)())
into the PyCEGUI objects, not the python2 symbol:
boost::python::detail::init_module(char const*, void (*)())

From what I can see, this decision is made in boost/python/module_init.hpp from checking PY_VERSION_HEX, which in turn is ultimately defined by an included <patchlevel.h> - apparently the one included is /usr/include/python3.3m/patchlevel.h, not /usr/include/python2.7/patchlevel.h.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the "right" way to fix this issue is. Maybe cmake or make is somehow meant to specify a "-I" option to specify the python directory? This must be happening somewhere already, since boost needs it I think. I have really no familiarity with cmake, and it's a lot to try and dig through / figure out. Anyways, maybe I'm just missing some simple configuration from the top level that is meant to handle this. (For the record: yes, I used the PYTHON_EXECUTABLE variable as described in the tutorial).

Maybe this info will help someone out, in any event...
