INDI Library v2.0.7 is Released (01 Apr 2024)
Bi-monthly release with minor bug fixes and improvements
pyindi-client won't build/install
pyindi-client won't build/install was created by Willy
Hello all
I'm a happy indi user since a long time, and I recently noticed there was a package named pyindi-client, and since I added Python to the list of scripting languages I use at work, I decided to explore and see what new features I could add to my setup thanks to Python scripting.
I'm running indi 1.8.8 from debian 11.7 on a raspberry pi zero W, and so far so good it works just fine.
I started by typing "pip3 install pyindi-client", like I usually do when I need a specific python module. It didn't go well :
I've been litterally spending days trying to get pyindi-client installed, to no avail.
Out of the box, even when following requirements (libindi-dev) there are still missing files
Tried to install debian 12 on the raspberry so I can try with a newer version of indi but it won't boot - so I'm stuck for now with indi 1.8.8 and debian 11.7
I git cloned indi repo so I can have its libs, and be able to checkout specific versions (eg 1.8.8 to match my current indi version from deb 11.7 (v1.8.
I git cloned pyindi-client so I can try different versions as well, adding paths from my local indi cloned repo in setup.cfg
The goal here is to align everything so I can get a working pyindi-client, is this is ever possible
The best I can get so far (besides hundreds of lines of warnings) is when running gcc, but it stops at this step :This is the result I get when using v1.8.8 of indi libs and branch incomming/indipropertybasic
If I ever try the branch master of pyindi-client and libs from indi 1.8.8 :
Using tag 0.2.8 :
... Oh well.
It should have been as simple as "pip3 install pyindi-client", but it's clearly not.
So, is there any chance I can find a way to get this working ? What version combo between indi, pyindi-client and debian, swig, system architecture, country, religion, voodoo spell, whatever is the one that makes it work ?
In other words, has pyindi-client ever worked at all, and if so what versions of all components were used ?
If this is a deadend for me (eg it works only on other hardware, OS versions, etc.), is there another way of using indi's API with a scripting language without having to fight during days for no results?
Sorry for being so irritated, but I really thought I would spend my time actually coding using the pyindi-client, not installing/building it.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated
Thanks !

Thank you so much Aaron for your input - I eventually successfully compiled the whole thing last night (even drivers I don't need right now, just in case). I can now load PyIndi in my scripts, so far so good it works as expected
Unfortunately I noticed your reply regarding your script at a later time :/ Thank you for this, this may come in handy If I have to do again from scratch
Again, thank you for your help
