Deployement stuck at "Building PyCrypto"

[Roger TATOUD]

Hi 

I created a project follwoing instruction

Double clicked on "windows_deploy.bat"

the follwoing happens

Removing GCB_ALLOW_STATIC_SERV set to ''

Sourced as: './scripts/common.sh'

Windows install; skipping test-related downloads.

Ensuring runtime folder /home/Roger/coursebuilder_resources_1_11_001/runtime

Using GAE SDK 1.9.40 from /home/Roger/coursebuilder_resources_1_11_001/runtime/google_appengine

Installing PyCrypto (This needs to be compiled so it matches

   your operating system)

Building PyCrypto

then nothing for ever...

help welcome

Update

after "for ever" this happens, which is weird since I work on a PC...

Compilation error building pycrypto-2.6.1. Please ensure a C

compiler is installed and functional on your system. On OS X, the most likely

cause of this problem is that you don't have the XCode Command Line Tools

installed. To fix this, run

  $ xco/usr/bin/bash: Exit 255.

de-select --install

and follow the instructions that appear, then re-run this command.

The OS X message is generic, in that it's displayed for all build failures; that's just the platform where we had the most trouble at that step.

We can try just lying to the rest of the install script to tell it that this step succeeded, or we can try to get it working.  As I recall, the PyCrypto module is not required to just deploy.  Thus, let's start with the convenient lie, as that's easiest.  You should have a directory

/home/Roger/coursebuilder_resources_1_11_001/runtime/pycrypto-2.6.1

That may very well be in a slightly different place from your perspective; the above is the path for Cygwin.  For Windows, it's probably something a lot like  C:\users\Roger\....  rather than /home/Roger

In that directory, please create a file named .gcb_install_succeeded (yes, with the leading ".").  Doesn't matter what's in the file -- it can be completely empty.  It just needs to exist.  Once that's done, re-run the windows_deploy.bat file.

If that works, you're done.  (Yay!)  If that doesn't work, then things get more complex.  Start the Cygwin shell (there should now be a Cygwin launcher on your Start menu).  Issue the commands:

cd /home/Roger/coursebuilder_resources_1_11_001/runtime/pycrypto-2.6.1

python setup.py build

And then when that dies, please copy-paste everything including your typed-in commands and send it along so I can maybe figure out what's going awry.

Thx Mike

After re-reading the instructions on the website I realised that Python 2.7 was required whilst I have Python 3.6

So i used another machine with the correct Python, and it did not work any better.

In fact it stopped at the step to install the App engine with an "exit 23" message

So I decided to move onto something different and I have deploy Chamilo instead...

I may go back to Google later on

but many thx for your help.

very best

You may also want to take a look at these customer-contributed instructions for deploying CB using a VM - far simpler.  Our Windows support is known to be problematic.

Adding the empty file ".gcb_install_succeeded" to the /pycrypto-2.6.1 folder was successful in getting me past the PyCrypto error.  I had previously down-graded Python to 2.7 in response to other posts, but that did not change the PyCrypto error message.  Thanks for your help!
