Unable to compile latest version - missing libmagic???

[trizmark]

Question

I've been running this FW on my ulanzi for a while and last time I compiled it was back in Sept. (ESPHome 2023.8.3).
I wanted to add a couple of extra icons to the display, but for some reason I'm unable to compile it at all. I tried both on my Win and my Mac machine, but no luck.

Any idea what am I missing?

I have libmagic and pylibmagic installed and no amount of searching on the web yielded any useful results...

% pip install libmagic             
Requirement already satisfied: libmagic in /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages (1.0)
% pip install pylibmagic
Requirement already satisfied: pylibmagic in /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages (0.5.0)

Additional information

• used Hardware:
  Ulanzi TC001

  • EspHoMaTriXv2 version: 2024.3.0

try brew doctor to make sure it's not a homebrew issue

[trizmark]

Thanks for the tip, but that doesn't explain why I get the exact same issue on my Windows machine.

pip install "pillow==10.2.0"
pip install libmagic
pip install python-magic-bin

Out of curiosity, why not run ESPHome in Docker? All the dependencies are part of the image... actually, as you might guess from andrewjswan's comment, there's on ongoing issue regarding ESPHome being stuck with an outdated version of Pillow...

Also, this definitely isn't an issue with EHMTXv2... it's an ESPHome issue. Try this thread: esphome/issues#5427

[andrewjswan]

Docker on Windows sounds funny, there is nothing complicated about installing ESPHome in Python.

[trip5]

If you say so but this thread and that thread say otherwise. Literally takes seconds to update ESPHome, no futzing about with versions or Python environments. And it's speed is close enough to running on bare-metal.

And yes, lol it runs in Windows on the Linux Subsystem (which the Docker install painlessly updates). It's a bit odd compared to Linux installs as it can also run Windows containers (I have no idea about that) but I had to run it on my work notebook because I keep ESPHome devices at work. It's a bit slow though, probably because Windows itself is using 1/4 of the CPU cycles.

In Python it's all the same, I haven't had any problems for over 4 years. Everything is simple and hassle-free. To be precise I have 3 ESPHome, one in HA OS, and two in Windows in Python, no problems...

It's easy when it's easy. But I have Windows 11 and Core 2 Duo, and when installing Docker, it just says, "Sorry, but I won't install on this hardware, much less work with it." But Python works.
