Installing hermes-python from source
joanhofer opened this issue · 4 comments
I am trying to install hermes-python from source according to the instructions from:
https://pypi.org/project/hermes-python/
When running the following code using git bash:
mkdir -p platforms/hermes-python/target
CARGO_TARGET_DIR=platforms/hermes-python/target cargo rustc --lib --manifest-path hermes-mqtt-ffi/Cargo.toml --release -- --crate-type cdylib
several files and folders are created in the folder "/hermes-protocol/platforms/hermes-python/target/release":
build deps examples hermes_mqtt_ffi.d hermes_mqtt_ffi.dll hermes_mqtt_ffi.dll.d hermes_mqtt_ffi.dll.lib hermes_mqtt_ffi.lib incremental libhermes_mqtt_ffi.d libhermes_mqtt_ffi.rlib native
However the dynamically linked shared object library libhermes_mqtt_ffi.dylib is missing.
Do you know what the reason could be?
I'm sorry, the documentation is a bit misleading on this subject and was written for macOS.
Depending on the platform you are running these commands, the output varies in the extension it can either be :
libhermes_mqtt_ffi.dylib(on MacOS)libhermes_mqtt_ffi.so(on Linux)libhermes_mqtt_ffi.dll(on Windows)
You need to pick the correct extension platform.
Stay tuned here, because I'll update the instructions to something that abstracts away this tedious copy step : http://hermespython.readthedocs.io/
Let me know if you're still stuck.
Cheers.
Thank you for the reply. I'm using a Windows system. The dll file is called hermes_mqtt_ffi.dll. I will try to continue with this one.
Let us know how it went !
Closing this for now.
