bluing and dbus-python problems while installing

Question

bluing and dbus-python problems while installing

Opened this issue 2 years ago · 6 comments

bluing relies on the dbus-python package.
On kali linux I get an error, when the dbus-python package is being built:

$ pip install --user bluing

Why is this happening?

Answer 1 · 2023-04-02T03:48:35.000Z

How did you install python 3.10 in the latest kali Linux, which now uses python 3.11 by default?

Answer 2 · 2023-04-02T06:15:18.000Z

Yeah that was a problem. I compiled python from source. I downloaded the official package, compiled that and installed it. Any chance bluing will work with python3.11 sometime?

Answer 3 · 2023-04-02T06:40:32.000Z

The next version of bluing is planned to support python 3.11.

And if you compiled and installed python 3.10 from the source, you may have to deal with some so files, such as:

_dbus_bindings.cpython-3*-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
_dbus_glib_bindings.cpython-3*-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

Have you tried installing dbus-python using apt instead of pip?

sudo apt install libglib2.0-dev gir1.2-gtk-3.0 \
                 python3-dbus python3-gi python3-gi-cairo

Answer 4 · 2023-04-02T20:06:14.000Z

Yes, thank you. I tried, but pip wanted to install the dbus-python package nevertheless. In the end, I managed to install bluing by building dbus-python from source and requesting the pip install command with the --no-dependencies option:

sudo -H pip install --no-dependencies bluing PyGObject docopt btsm btatt bluepy configobj btl2cap pkginfo xpycommon halo pyserial bthci btgatt log_symbols colorama spinners six termcolor

I can now run bluing. But this is obviously not a clean solution.

Answer 5 · 2023-06-15T18:08:33.000Z

I am Debian user and I have found problems during the installation, but I have found a solution.

I have compiled and installed Python3.10, and got the dbus-python error after try pip3.10 install bluing. So,
I downloaded dbus-python 1.3.2 from sources and installed bluing with pip.

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.0/Python-3.10.0.tgz
tar -xvf Python-3.10.0.tgz
cd Python-3.10.0
./configure --enable-optimizations
make -j 4
sudo make altinstall
cd ..

tar -xvzf dbus-python-upstream-1.3.2.tar.gz
cd dbus-python-upstream-1.3.2
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo python3.10 setup.py install
# for some reason, dbus-python does not perform the installation in site-packages well, so:
sudo cp -r dbus/ /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/

pip3.10 install bluing

# Extra: If you do not have glibc 2.34, you can compile glibc 2.34 and patch rfkill:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.34.tar.xz
tar xf glibc-2.34.tar.xz
cd glibc-2.34
mkdir build
mkdir glibc-2.34-install
cd build
../configure --prefix=$HOME/Downloads/glibc-2.34/glibc-2.34-install
