I'm testing the threaded branch on my own machine. It built without issue for me and is easy to run with "PYTHONPATH=`brew --prefix`/lib/python2.7/site-packages /usr/bin/python ArmoryQt.py"

Once I'm happy with the stability, I'll switch my brew tap to it.

You probably need to update your command line tools. Open up Xcode > Preferences > Downloads. I've compiled on Mountain Lion. Also, maybe run `brew doctor` and see if it says anything.

Yup that was it... I didn't realize that the OS upgrade would un-install them.

Thanks for everything Red Emerald

Well it leaves them installed, but I think they are all compiled for Lion which has older versions of a lot of things and so won't work.

Glad I could help!

Red Emerald, amazing formula but how do I upgrade, armory is saying their is a new version but

Code:

% brew upgrade wysenynja/bitcoin/armory-qt
Error: armory-qt-HEAD already installed
% brew upgrade --HEAD wysenynja/bitcoin/armory-qt
Error: armory-qt-HEAD already installed

Hrm... So I was able to receive and send funds. I imported a bunch of addresses (~15) and restarted... now Armory has been loading for >20 mins.....

Any ideas as to what could be causing the slowdown?

EDIT: 40 mins in and it just switched to blk0002.dat. This sucks, it is like using a 5 year old PC on a mac. There has to be some reason for the slowdown.

What are your system specs? What OS version? Latest dev branch?

My load times aren't nearly that bad, but I'm on a SSD.

This is not right. On my mac it takes less than 2 min to load. I am using an SSD too, but it is CPU limited.

However, it may be a crash. Occationally, I see Armory crash when reading a block, in particular if I start it while the Satoshi client is catching up. I guess it gets confused by reading a block while it is being written to disk. That could in principle also hang your client.

It's in https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-versions

Code:

brew tap homebrew/versions
brew install wysenynja/bitcoin/bitcoind

Thanks... I added it but now I am getting a compile error for it (berkeley-db4):

I have my feelings that it is due to upgrading to Mt. Lion this weekend, has anyone else compiled this on Mt. Lion?

The new version thing is a bug. I am waiting for etotheipi to merge some changes and then I will switch the formula to his repo.

You can't until he updates the forumla. Last I knew he was waiting for mac specific things to be merged into master.

So I made this super simple for people. I'm sure etotheipi will eventually do this himself, but if you want Armory up and running fast and right now.

Code:

brew tap WyseNynja/bitcoin
brew install wysenynja/bitcoin/bitcoind
brew install --HEAD wysenynja/bitcoin/armory-qt

You don't need to install bitcoind, but I like to. I might eventually add a startup service for bitcoind.

Just tried to get an updated version of bitcoind from your forumula and got this error:

Code:

$ brew install bitcoind
Error: No available formula for berkeley-db4 (dependency of bitcoind)

Did you do a keg for that from somewhere?

Btw, I finally removed bsddb, so that dependency should be gone...

Though, in the future, I might add it back if the devs don't move on this new wallet format. Luckily, I am pretty sure they won't be using BSDDB for the new wallet format, but if they procrastinate much longer past when I get compressed public keys, I might have to do this.

But this is for bitcoind.... doesn't that still depend on BDB?

It's in https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-versions

brew tap homebrew/versions
brew install wysenynja/bitcoin/bitcoind

I saw that error on my own system, but building with the proper libpython2.7.a is what fixed it.

After fixing the symlinks, did you reinstall, or did you just try to rerun the command? You will need to uninstall and install again.

Also, what is in your site packages folder?

Code:

$ ls `brew --prefix`/lib/python2.7/site-packages

I have a few more things than you probably, but yours should look similar to mine.

My formula does not install python because brew's python isn't needed (at least in Lion+). I built armory against the system python as that required less modifications to the Makefile. That is also why my ArmoryQt.command uses /usr/bin/python and sets PYTHONPATH.

What version of OSX are you using?

Interesting.... I am on Lion (10.7.7).

Quote from: Red Emerald on August 27, 2012, 08:25:37 PM

I'm guessing your messing with the links to the Framework folders is why it won't build.

Ya probably... it was way out of whack with what you posted, here are my new 'fixed' results

Code:

$ ls -la /usr/lib | grep python2.7
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18 Aug 22 2011 libpython.dylib -> libpython2.7.dylib

If those don't match me (likely because you have messed with those while trying to get Armory to work in the past), then change them to be what I have and try to reinstall armory-qt. Don't point them to brew. The system python should work fine.

Expect it didn't :/ Same error I was getting before:

Red Emerald....

I think with your forumla I have *finally* managed some form of success.... Armory appears to be loading now (loading blk0001.dat)

For others running into the dreaded error:

Code:

/usr/lib/python2.7/config/libpython2.7.a: No such file or directory

Here is what I did to, i think, finally resolve this:
* brew uninstall anything needed for Armory: python, cryptopp, swig, sip, qt, pyqt, twisted.
* brew install --HEAD armory-qt (after adding the tap of course)
* interestingly enough this did not install python, so: brew install python

This is where things got interesting... I have somehow gotten my python into 'framework' mode so things didn't work out of the box.

Also I found that when python installs libpython is actually a relative symlink, and given that the armory build is looking in /usr/lib this is why it breaks. I have created the following script that fixes up my symlinks for me and then a brew install armory-qt worked like a champ (i think... it build/appears to run at least).

Also the command file you built did not work for me... I had to use brew python:

Code:

python /usr/local/Cellar/armory-qt/HEAD/share/armory/ArmoryQt.py

Here is the script I made, please note this will almost certainly not work 'out of the box' but at least be a guide for others:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# See bottom of script for example paths
CELLAR=`brew --cellar python`
FRAMEWORK_PATH="$CELLAR/2.7.3/Frameworks/Python.framework"
PYTHON_PATH="$FRAMEWORK_PATH/Versions/2.7/Python"

# Now update system links
echo "Updating /usr/lib link... will need to sudo:"

It doesn't do that part automatically. My formula tells you how to link the command after it finishes installing. You can also run "brew info wysenynja/bitcoin/armory-qt"
