Installation of Python-Ogre Problem

[VanHelsing]

Hello,

I am trying to build Python-Ogre with these instructions
http://wiki.python-ogre.org/index.php/WindowsBuildAuto

I have run into many problems but first I need one question answered-
Does the 32 bit version of Python-Ogre work on a 64 bit machine.

The second problem is that I don't know if I need the ogre programs
installed and if I need a python interpreter before I build Python-
Ogre.

The third problem I have if those two are not a problem is that on
step 2

I imput -
cd c:\development
vcvars32
python python-ogre\BuildModule.py -r cmake gccxml boost scons pygccxml
pyplusplus

into the command prompt and it says-
C:\Users\Kilian>cd c:\development

c:\development>vcvars32

c:\development>"c:\program files\microsoft visual studio
9.0\common7\tools\vsvar
s32.bat"
The system cannot find the path specified.

c:\development>python python-ogre\BuildModule.py -r cmake gccxml boost
scons pyg
ccxml pyplusplus

You see in my C drive I have two main folders for program files- C
\Program Files and C\Program files (x86)

Microsoft visual studio 9.0 is installed in the C\Program Files (x86)
but I guess the command prompt is trying to find it in the C\Program
File folder.

I am using the path-
@echo off
set GNUWIN32_PATH="C:\gnuwin32\bin"
set MSVS_PATH="C:\Program Filesx86\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0"
set PYTHON_PATH="C:\python25"
set SVN_PATH="C:\Program Filesx86\SlikSvn\bin"
set CVS_PATH="C:\Program Filesx86\cvs"

call %GNUWIN32_PATH%\set_gnuwin32.bat -s gnuwin32 -l EN
call %MSVS_PATH%\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat
set PATH=%PYTHON_PATH%;%SVN_PATH%;%CVS_PATH%;%PATH%
cls
cmd /K "echo Python-Ogre Build Environment"

I am not sure if I am even doing anything write because I am a newbie
to this. I assume the path should have something to do with Program
Files (x86) but that goes back to the first problem with not knowing
if the 32 bit works on a 64 bit.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Van

Why don't you just go ahead and use the windows binary package from Sourceforge -- there isn't really a reason to build your own under windows unless there are library extensions etc that you want to use/develop

Wow took me three tries to get this right.
So your telling me I don't have to build it?

If you work on windows just go to python-ogre.org and download our binary. Don't bother compiling from source code.

Yes I have done that but idk what to do with the binary.

After installing PythonOgre, use Python to develop software for it. There are heaps of documentation on the wiki. PythonOgre is not a standalone game or anything like that, it's a programming framework.

Well thats the problem, I guess to develop software I need to install
python-ogre.

I don't know how to install Python-Ogre!

I thought you had to build it which is why I asked the question in the
first place but everyone is telling me different things. Can anyone
just give me a straightforward answer?

Thanks,
Van

Oh sh*t dude. C'mon.

Step 1: download windows binary
http://sourceforge.net/projects/python-ogre/files/
screenie:


Step 2: doubleclick and install
(no pretty images here, for I don't use such primitive OSes like Windows... >: ) )

Step 3: python.org, download and install python 2.5.2.
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.2/
2.5.5 (latest 2.5.x) will probably work too but it's source only release. 2.5.4 is latest release with a windows binary





Step 4: use idle, notepad, notepad++, wingide, vim, emacs or... whatever, to develop your software


And remember, answers won't get more straightforward than this one you just got. Wiki is pretty much filled up, and you are advised to write about your experiences too.

[VanHelsing]

So I could use this to say create a game engine?

What what do I click on to install? Setup.py? If so I cannot find a
program to open it.

I'm gettin' a feeling that I'm feeding a troll here, but let's give it one more shot.

In other words, you're grabbing a piece of developer software, but you have no idea what it does?

I sent images clearly displaying what to download.

1.6.1 has a Windows binary installer.

A normal setup program.

Well thanks for the images but where are they? And I have relative
idea of what python-ogre does, it makes the computer language for
developing on ogre easier instead of c++. I have had some experience
with the python language.

Please read that email in detail before expecting another reply from me.

Wait did you send me an email, because if so I didn't get it.

It's your problem you're reading this through the web interface.
It's this mail:
http://groups.google.com/group/python-ogre-developers/msg/ff5e0fbfcdddbac7
One of missing images shows you need to download 1.6.1.

I'm out of this thread and won't be following it anymore.

Simply download one of the Windows binary packages from source forge and install it on your windows system..

There is an assumption you have Python 2.6 installed and are familiar with Python programming etc (if not then PythonOgre is not a good way to learn Python)

Suggest you use Ogre 1.6 as it is the released and stable version (currently) so download the core files and decompress them (using 7zip) into a suitable directory. Then download the demo files and decompress them into the pythonogre directory.

From the pythonogre directory run "python setup.py install" (from the command prompt) to install the libraries and then you can run the demos from the demos/ogre directory

Regards

Andy

Ok so I installed python 2.5 and the 1.6.1 version of python-ogre and
they demos were already installed. I am having a little trouble
installing the libraries. I've typed in "python setup.py install" in
python idle, python command line, and the command line in windows and
nothing worked.

You must not install libraries, they are already in the Windows
installer.

[Andy Miller]

What actually happens wen (from the command prompt and in the pythonogre directory) you run

python setup.py install

Also what happens when from the pythonogre/demos/ogre directory you run

python Demo_Grass.py

Need the actual error messages etc to be able to help.

Thanks

Andy, I could be wrong, I apologize in the case. He talked about
PythonOgre 1.6.1 and Python 2.5, also, he talked about "demos already
installed", so I think he refers to the Windows installer of the 1.6.1
release. In this case (if I remember correctly) maybe he could skip
this step.

[VanHelsing]

Yeah is Yaio right cause that would make this a heck of alot easier?

[VanHelsing]

Ok if everything is installed correctly, how do I use the programs.
Sorry for my noobishness.

[Andy Miller]

How much experience do you have programming with Python?  If it's a 'small amount' then you probably need to spend more time on the Python basics before taking on Python-Ogre.

The best way to learn Python-Ogre is to browse the demo code and play with it...

What's the demo code?
