Cannot install pyv8 on Ubuntu 16

[danweller18]

I tried following the guide here:

https://buffer.github.io/thug/doc/build.html#google-v8-pyv8

with the commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/buffer/pyv8.git
$ cd pyv8
~/pyv8 $ python setup.py build
~/pyv8 $ sudo python setup.py install

When I run python setup.py build I get an error message:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lv8_base.x64 
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lv8_snapshot
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'c++' failed with exit status 1

The weird thing is that it works fine in Ubuntu 14 without any problems.

Thanks

This should be a PyV8 issue and not a Thug issue. BTW I see just a few lines of the output but it seems like PyV8 was properly compiled but the linking failed. Are you sure V8 was properly compiled? Did you get any errors/warnings during the V8 compilation?

I performed a few tests in an Ubuntu 16.04 environment and I can't reproduce the issue. It seems like you are missing some dependencies. Could you please install the package libboost-all-dev and try again?

I have no idea if that was the problem but it works now. I included your suggestion- however I had to install the following so I couldn't tell you what works:

For boost: sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

For pyv8:

sudo git clone https://github.com/buffer/pyv8.git
cd pyv8
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config python-opengl python-imaging python-pyrex python-pyside.qtopengl idle-python2.7 qt4-dev-tools qt4-designer libqtgui4 libqtcore4 libqt4-xml libqt4-test libqt4-script libqt4-network libqt4-dbus python-qt4 python-qt4-gl libgle3 python-dev
sudo easy_install greenlet
sudo easy_install gevent
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

I am still facing similar errors.

How can I resolve them?

Are you following the procedure detailed at https://buffer.github.io/thug/doc/build.html#thug-installation ?

@hchaithanya Did you find a resolution to your issue? I'm facing the same one.

@buffer

Are you following the procedure detailed at https://buffer.github.io/thug/doc/build.html#thug-installation ?

Uhhh yeah, https://buffer.github.io/thug/doc/build.html#thug-installation tells you to clone the repo, python setup.py build then sudo python setup.py install

There is no setup.py in the repo for thug, could you please add that I'd like to try the latest because i'm running into issues when it is dealing with event listeners for some odd reason, just built libv8 and stpyv8 then went to build thug and noticed setup.py was missing. I'm trying to build it under python3.11
