Building wheel for nvtx (PEP 517) ... error

[reeva-mishra]

I am trying to install nvtx on Jetson Nano. However, I get the error:

I would appreciate some help on this. Thanks.

Hi @reeva-mishra. Thanks for reporting. Could you please provide the commands that reproduce this error for you?

[PonyMaY]

Hi @shwina! We also have met this issue. We just use python -m pip install nvtx to install nvtx on Jetson NX. And we also meet the PEP 517 error.

[shwina]

Ah, looks like it's because there's no built wheels for aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc on PyPI. I'll look further into this.

In the meantime, is using conda at all an option for you?

conda install -c conda-forge nvtx

Otherwise, cloning the dev branch and building from source is an alternative (assumes you have Cython installed):

git clone -b dev https://github.com/NVIDIA/NVTX
cd NVTX/python
C_INCLUDE_PATH=../c/include/ python  setup.py build_ext
python setup.py install

Thank you for your quick reply! I choose this method to solve. But it still get wrong with aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc. The log is written below:

python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace

[shwina]

My apologies @PonyMaY - my instructions assumed that one has the NVTX C library header installed already. I've edited the commands to include setting the C_INCLUDE_PATH to the location of the header. Since the C library is header-only, this is the only change you will need. Could you please try the updated command to see if that works? Sorry for the trouble.

[PonyMaY]

@shwina Sorry to bother you again. I have used the newest command you provided, but the same issue came when i run this linepython -m pip install . It still meets wrong with error: command 'aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

[shwina]

Thanks @PonyMaY -- I've (again) tweaked the commands a bit to use python setup.py install instead of pip install. Apparently, using pip install . forces a rebuild for some reason. Could you please try now?

[PonyMaY]

Thank you @shwina for your help! Now it's successful to install.

Thank you @shwina! I had the same issue on Jetson AGX Xavier, but installing from dev branch source (with additonal pip install Cython before that) did the job.

Hi, I followed this tutorial and successful build the nvtx module, but when import it in python, it raise this error:

Hi! I had the same problem. Could you tell me how to solve it?

[shwina]

NVTX should now have wheels for aarch64. I'm closing this issue, but please feel free to reopen if there are any issues still.

Similar issue to build NVTX on Windows, I fixed it by adding the include_dirs line to setup.py:

'''
setup(
name="nvtx",
version="0.2.5",
description="PyNVTX - Python code annotation library",
url="https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvtx",
author="NVIDIA Corporation",
license="Apache 2.0",
include_dirs=["C:/Program Files/NVIDIA Corporation/Nsight Systems 2022.4.1/target-windows-x64/nvtx/include"],
