"py-compile: Missing argument to --destdir." #2

infokiller · 2016-08-19T13:18:21Z

I tried installing it by running:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

However, I get the following error:

../py-compile: Missing argument to --destdir.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

You should use

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

(That autogen.sh is in the tarball is a mistake, I’ll remove it, it should only used when building from git.
But that does not make a difference for you. you used ./configure without the --prefix=/usr argument,
then it defaults to the /usr/local prefix and you would need to add DESTDIR to the make install as well.
I.e.:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install DESTDIR=/usr/local

Then you don’t get that error message. So there is some bug in the build system with the handling of DESTDIR.
Apparently there are some more bugs when trying to install in a different location then /usr, I’ll check later.

But installing to a different location than /usr will probably not work for you anyway.
The “make install” installs a file /usr/share/ibus/component/typing-booster.xml,
if that is in a different location, the ibus you have installed will most likely not find it.

So use

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

this should work.

Did it work for you?

infokiller · 2016-09-05T07:10:25Z

Sorry, didn't have time to test it yet. Will update this issue after I try.

infokiller · 2016-09-28T23:06:17Z

OK, just installed from the repo checked out to release 1.5.7, and the installation finished with no errors. Sorry if this is a trivial question, but how do I trigger it? should I restart X11 before?
Thanks!

mike-fabian · 2016-09-29T07:19:14Z

Yes, it is easier if you restart X11.
Which window manager are you using? I remember you asked about i3 ...
I have the following two lines in my ~/.config/i3/config file to start ibus:

exec ibus-daemon -drx
for_window [instance=ibus-ui-gtk3] sticky enable

After starting your session, start "ibus-setup" and add the "English US (Typing Booster)"
input method.

In case you are using Gnome, see the video at the bottom of the ibus-typing-booster
home page: https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/
At the beginning of that video, I explain how to enable ibus-typing-booster on Gnome.

infokiller · 2016-09-29T23:23:07Z

OK so now when I try to open ibus-setup I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/ibus/setup/main.py", line 28, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Gio
ImportError: No module named repository

I guess that this is unrelated to your code. I'll handle it and report back.

infokiller · 2016-11-11T02:12:52Z

OK I finally went back to fix this issue, it was just a conflicting python library.
So now ibus-setup is started well, but I don't see a "English US (Typing Booster)" input method.

Should I have run anything else other than the make install?

Thanks!

infokiller · 2016-11-11T02:31:58Z

FYI: I installed https://github.com/salty-horse/ibus-uniemoji and it worked.

infokiller · 2016-11-11T02:44:13Z

More info:
First, I notice that following the installation steps you described above still left me with the old error (Missing argument to --destdir). Not sure how it worked for me 2 months ago.
Anyway, I then ran sudo make install DESTDIR=/usr/local and it worked.
Restarting ibus still didn't help, although it does look like the file is installed now:

Some strange things about typing_booster.xml:

Running /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-typing-booster --xml prints an error

infokiller · 2016-12-21T08:57:33Z

Hey @mike-fabian , did you get a chance to look at this?

Thanks!

mike-fabian · 2016-12-21T12:51:07Z

OK, I have fixed that now, but that is only a comment, it doesn’t matter.

The path mentioned /usr/share/ibus-typing-booster/hunspell-tables/ doesn't exist

This is probably because you installed to /usr/local, not /usr.
Please try installing to /usr. Like this:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

(The --prefix=/usr is important!)
I guess you installed ibus-uniemoji to /usr as well, it is the default
when you do do “make install” of ibus-uniemoji:

mfabian@taka:/local/mfabian/src/ibus-uniemoji$ make -n install
install -m 0755 -d /usr/share/ibus-uniemoji /etc/xdg/uniemoji /usr/share/ibus/component
install -m 0644 uniemoji.svg UnicodeData.txt emojione.json /usr/share/ibus-uniemoji
install -m 0755 uniemoji.py /usr/share/ibus-uniemoji
install -m 0644 config.py /usr/share/ibus-uniemoji
install -m 0644 ibus.py /usr/share/ibus-uniemoji
install -m 0644 uniemoji.xml /usr/share/ibus/component
install -m 0644 custom.json /etc/xdg/uniemoji

Running /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-typing-booster --xml prints an error

Which error?

infokiller · 2016-12-22T20:01:25Z

Running make gives me this error now:

OK not sure why it happened, but it should be ok now.
Anyway, running /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-typing-booster --xml still prints an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/ibus-typing-booster/engine/main.py", line 293, in <module>

It seems that after make install DESTDIR=usr/, whether using the latest git commit or the latest release, some files are still not copied. The /usr/share/ibus-typing-booster dir only has an engine dir inside, so I get the error about /usr/share/ibus-typing-booster/hunspell-tables.

I ran the following from the ibus source directory to resolve it:

sudo cp -r -a data engine hunspell-tables icons /usr/share/ibus-typing-booster

Now /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-typing-booster --xml works correctly, and after restarting ibus I finally saw the ibus-typing-booster input methods. However, after I switch to it and type a character, I get the following error:

☹ /usr/share/myspell/en_US.dic not found. Please install hunspell dictionary!

Indeed, the directory /usr/share/myspell is empty.
I installed hunspell from https://github.com/hunspell/hunspell, but the dictionary files were not installed into /usr/share/myspell/, but into /usr/share/myspell/dicts. I copied the en_US.dic one, but I still get this error.

Any idea?

Thanks!

infokiller · 2017-01-03T20:06:00Z

I finally was able to resolve the issue after debugging it.
I noticed this error message in the debug log:

load_dictionary en_US: /usr/share/myspell/en_US.dic /usr/share/myspell/en_US.aff file missing.

So I also copied the aff file to this directory. I also deleted the db file, but not sure if it was needed or not.

Anyway, it seems like on Ubuntu ibus-typing-booster doesn't look at the right location for hunspell dictionaries?
