Can't build python Demo on Linux Mint

[bzis]

Hello,

I've just downloaded your RCFProto package and tried to build C++ and Python demos on AMD Mint 16 machine. I'm using your Getting Started Guide. Everything went smoothly with C++ demos - everything works. However, I'm having some problems with building Python Bindings. After I run command:

Code: Select all

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" .. 

I get this output:

Code: Select all

CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: Release

then I run

make

and I get following error:

Code: Select all

make: *** [all] Error 2

everything is executed as root, so I dont't understand the "Permission denied" error. Also I know, that the tutorial is for Ubuntu, but maybe there's something I can do, to run it on Mint?

P.S. I've also modified CMakeLists.txt, because I had following error:

Modified this:

Code: Select all

PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS -I${PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS}

to this:

Code: Select all

PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS "-I${PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS}"

But this line still looks wrong:

Code: Select all

Python include paths: /usr/include/python2.7/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/python2.7

I Hope you can help me!
Thank you.

Hi bzis,

It looks like your Python environment is a little different than the Ubuntu boxes we've tested on. On the Ubuntu systems, there is only one Python include path, whereas in your case there are two.

The change you made to the -I option should take care of that though. So the real problem looks to be the permission denied error:

Code: Select all

/bin/sh: 1: /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/python2.7: Permission denied

Is there any way you can troubleshoot this further and determine why permission is being denied?
