I have used all such solutions fail. adminitrator right to use, modify and distribute the UAC right folder, all in vain 

Here is an image I captured

please help me !!!!

What happens if you are in the Python environment and run:

> maketzjs

This should be in the path setup by the python env.

If you just want to explore the Turbulenz JavaScript library - you can also checkout this repo:

https://github.com/turbulenz/turbulenz_jslib

[Ian Ballantyne]

It looks like you've run it from the administrator terminal. 

You shouldn't need to do that for the majority of the commands. I would try removing the turbulenz_engine directory and starting again to remove any files that have been created as Administrator.

The only things you might need to be an Administrator to install would be Python and virtualenv, which it sounds like you already have.

 

[James Battersby]

I'm having a similar problem - everytime I run cmd its always as Administrator (since I'm the sole user of my machine). I've written a small bat file that runs the runas command to force it to run cmd as my user profile but I'm still getting the same error:

(env) C:\Development\turbulenz\turbulenz_engine>python manage.py jslib

BUILD CMD IS:

  C:\Development\turbulenz\turbulenz_engine\external\gnumake-win32\3.81\bin\make.exe -j 5 -C C:\Development\tu

rbulenz\turbulenz_engine MODULAR=1 jslib

Access is denied.

[Ian Ballantyne]

You might need to remove that directory and try again from the beginning if it has ever been run as an admin. It's likely the environment installation is the issue. 

If that still fails to run when you are the your user profile, you could try installing it in a user owned directory e.g. C:\Users\USERNAME\Development... etc

[James Battersby]

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the reply but this hasn't worked either.

I have tried the following locations:

• From my single user account which has admin rights
• C:\Development\turbulenz
• C:\Users\James\turbulenz
• From a specially created non-admin account called TurbulenzDev
• C:\Development\turbulenz
• C:\Users\TurbulenzDev\turbulenz

and they all the produce the error as above. C:\Development is a directory created by my single user account. I am attempting this on Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. I have managed to get it working on my Macbook fine but I would like to get it working on my Windows machine as well.

[Ian Ballantyne]

Two things to try. Firstly can you check the submodule command was run correctly

git submodule update --init

Secondly can you check to see if 'jslib' and 'jslib-modular' directories exist at Turbulenz root level

[James Battersby]

This was the output from the submodule update:

But I have noticed that indeed both the jslib and jslib-modular directories are missing.... Shouldn't they be provided by the git clone command?

[Ian Ballantyne]

They get generated by the jslib build commands. My suspicion was that /external submodule was not there, which from the output looks like it wasn't. Can you try the 'jslib' command again. 

[James Battersby]

Which 'jslib' command? I'm following the instructions listed at https://github.com/turbulenz/turbulenz_engine#setup-guide

I've just tried from scratch again and here is the cmd i/o:

[Ian Ballantyne]

You did it as part of the previous output (python manage.py jslib), but it didn't seem to make a difference.

Can you try running the make command manually. From C:\Development\turbulenz\turbulenz_engine> do:

env\Scripts\activate.bat

Then run:

C:\Development\turbulenz\turbulenz_engine\external\gnumake-win32\3.81\bin\make.exe -j 5 -C C:\Development\turbulenz\turbulenz_engine MODULAR=1 jslib

Can you even run the "make.exe --version" from the terminal?

[James Battersby]

It would appear not - access is denied on make.exe. I tried altering the permissions to read/execute for everyone but running --version with that seemed to create a bad pointer exception and crash.

I have make installed on my machine (v3.82.90) but using that generates the following error:

(env) C:\Development\turbulenz\turbulenz_engine>make -j 5 -C C:\Development\turbulenz\turbulenz_engine MODULAR=1 jslib

cygwin warning:

  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.

[Ian Ballantyne]

It sounds like the build of cmake is not correct for your platform/architecture.
I'm not sure the cygwin version of make will work.

You could try finding a different build of cmake 3.81 and try that.

Can you let us know your OS edition (Windows 7?), CPU, 32bit/64bit etc.

[James Battersby]

Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 64-bit

Intel Core Quad CPU Q6600

[Ian Ballantyne]

James, did you have any luck with cmake 3.81?
