Building Armory on OSX

[Red Emerald]

Red Emerald,

I just committed a Makefile modification to the dev branch.  It's basically just the current master with a bug fix and the updated Makefile.  Can you do a fresh checkout and confirm it works on your system, too?  Just want to make sure I did it right.  It works on the OSX VM I have.

It works and the instructions are getting much simpler!  Once you pull out all the bsddb stuff, it should be this:

Code:

$ brew install python cryptopp swig sip qt pyqt
$ export PATH=`brew --prefix`/share/python:$PATH
$ pip install twisted
$ mkdir ~/src
$ cd ~/src
$ git clone git://github.com/etotheipi/BitcoinArmory.git
$ cd BitcoinArmory
$ make

$ PYTHONPATH=`brew --prefix`/lib/python2.7/site-packages /usr/bin/python ArmoryQt.py

I think py2app is what you should be doing.  I'll play around with it if I can get some time.

I will try it, too.  I just don't have high expectations.  I also had to reinstall my Win64 VM and can't get py2exe working.  I've spent hours on it and even my existing config that works on another machine isn't helping me figure it out.  Not looking forward to doing it again on OSX...

I got it working no problem at all with the alias option (-A), but that isn't very helpful.  I'll try again now that you changed the makefile.

Code:

$ py2applet --make-setup ArmoryQt.py
$ vim setup.py

  set 'argv_emulation' to False

$ PYTHONPATH=`brew --prefix`/lib/python2.7/site-packages /usr/bin/python setup.py py2app -A

$ open dist/ArmoryQt.app

EDIT: So I'm running into problems with Mountain Lion and macholib. I tried installing the development version of macholib, but that requires the development versions of altgraph and modulegraph which break the non-development version of py2app.  Hopefully you will have better luck with Lion.

This might help: http://b.atcg.us/blog/2010/04/13/py2app-hell-the-first.html

Running into the hell of compiling Armory on OSX....

What if  you required brew for OSX?  I know that is not 'ideal' but it is loads better than what we have today.

Then users could install your custom formula and just brew install armory

That is a super interesting idea!

You're right, it's not ideal, but it would dramatically improve the situation -- users that really want it, can get it.  

I'm getting lost in my attempts to split blockchain loading into a background thread.  Multi-threaded programming comes with all sorts of headaches.  When I'm done with this implementation, I'll release it for testing and look at this OSX idea while the Win and Linux users beat on the new version.

EDIT: Scratch that:  I'm going to look at py2app first.  Red Emerald's link for "py2app hell" may very well help me avoid all the things I was worried about.  If that turns out to be trouble, I'll take a shot at your idea

[ErebusBat]

I am all for any solution that works.

[Red Emerald]

`brew install armoryqt` would be awesome, though a distributable binary would be better for the average user.

I'll try playing around with writing a recipe.

EDIT: wow. this is super easy.  I made a pull request to fix your makefile (it also adds qrc_img_resources.py to .gitignore since it is a generated file).  I'll post my formula in a few minutes.



https://github.com/etotheipi/BitcoinArmory/pull/18

Also, what branch should I be using? Dev still?

Here's the formula I made. It installs my dev branch which has two simple changes.  The first fixes the makefile so it can install into the brew prefix properly.  The second adds a "ArmoryQt.command" file.

You can install it by placing the below code into "`brew --prefix`/Library/Formula/bitcoinarmory.rb" and then `brew install --HEAD bitcoinarmory`

Code: ("`brew --prefix`/Library/Formula/bitcoinarmory.rb")

require 'formula'

class Bitcoinarmory < Formula
  homepage 'http://bitcoinarmory.com/'
  head 'https://github.com/WyseNynja/BitcoinArmory/tarball/dev'
  depends_on 'cryptopp'
  depends_on 'swig'
  depends_on 'sip'
  depends_on 'qt'
  depends_on 'pyqt'
  depends_on 'twisted' => :python

  def install
    ENV.j1  # if your formula's build system can't parallelize

    system "make"
    system "make DESTDIR=`brew --prefix BitcoinArmory` install"
    bin.install 'ArmoryQt.command'
  end

  def test
    system "PYTHONPATH=`brew --prefix`/lib/python2.7/site-packages /usr/bin/python `brew --prefix bitcoinarmory`/share/armory/ArmoryQt.py -h"
  end

  def caveats; <<-EOS.undent
    BitcoinArmory.command was installed in
        #{bin}

    To symlink into ~/Applications, you can do:
        ln -s #{bin}/ArmoryQt.command ~/Applications/
    EOS
  end
end

Now you can simply open up a terminal and assuming you already have your PATH setup for brew, `ArmoryQt.command`

You can also symlink the .command file somewhere easy to double click or even drop it onto the dock.

[Red Emerald]

So I made this super simple for people.  I'm sure etotheipi will eventually do this himself, but if you want Armory up and running fast and right now.

Code:

brew tap homebrew/versions
brew tap WyseNynja/bitcoin
brew install wysenynja/bitcoin/bitcoind
brew install --HEAD wysenynja/bitcoin/armory-qt

You don't need to install bitcoind, but I like to. I might eventually add a startup service for bitcoind.

EDIT: I forgot to mention tapping homebrew/versions

[ErebusBat]

What version of Xcode do to have? This still fails for me, I think I might need to update.

[ErebusBat]

Grrr... mine still fails, even after an XCode upgrade.

So I made this super simple for people.  I'm sure etotheipi will eventually do this himself, but if you want Armory up and running fast and right now.

Code:

brew tap WyseNynja/bitcoin

You don't need to install bitcoind, but I like to. I might eventually add a startup service for bitcoind.

thanks works great, but only thing is it never created the link to application, so I just added my own apple script

It doesn't do that part automatically. My formula tells you how to link the command after it finishes installing. You can also run "brew info wysenynja/bitcoin/armory-qt"

[ErebusBat]

Red Emerald....

I think with your forumla I have *finally* managed some form of success.... Armory appears to be loading now (loading blk0001.dat)

For others running into the dreaded error:

Code:

/usr/lib/python2.7/config/libpython2.7.a: No such file or directory

Here is what I did to, i think, finally resolve this:
 * brew uninstall anything needed  for Armory: python, cryptopp, swig, sip, qt, pyqt, twisted.
 * brew install --HEAD armory-qt  (after adding the tap of course)
 * interestingly enough this did not install python, so: brew install python

This is where things got interesting... I have somehow gotten my python into 'framework' mode so things didn't work out of the box.

Also I found that when python installs libpython is actually a relative symlink, and given that the armory build is looking in /usr/lib this is why it breaks.  I have created the following script that fixes up my symlinks for me and then a brew install armory-qt worked like a champ (i think... it build/appears to run at least).

Also the command file you built did not work for me... I had to use brew python:

Code:

python /usr/local/Cellar/armory-qt/HEAD/share/armory/ArmoryQt.py

Here is the script I made, please note this will almost certainly not work 'out of the box' but at least be a guide for others:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# See bottom of script for example paths
CELLAR=`brew --cellar python`
FRAMEWORK_PATH="$CELLAR/2.7.3/Frameworks/Python.framework"
PYTHON_PATH="$FRAMEWORK_PATH/Versions/2.7/Python"

# Update Brew links
cd $FRAMEWORK_PATH/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/config
rm libpython2.7.a
rm libpython2.7.dylib
ln -s $PYTHON_PATH libpython2.7.a
ln -s $PYTHON_PATH libpython2.7.dylib


# Now update system links
echo "Updating /usr/lib link... will need to sudo:"
sudo rm /usr/lib/python2.7
sudo ln -s $FRAMEWORK_PATH/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /usr/lib/python2.7

echo "Links updated..."

# /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Python
# /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/config

@Red Emerald: if armory does indeed come up then I will send you some coin as I have wanted this for MONTHS.  Thank you thank you thank you!

[ErebusBat]

Hrm...  So I was able to receive and send funds.  I imported a bunch of addresses (~15) and restarted... now Armory has been loading for >20 mins.....

Any ideas as to what could be causing the slowdown?

EDIT:  40 mins in and it just switched to blk0002.dat.  This sucks,  it is like using a 5 year old PC on a mac.  There has to be some reason for the slowdown.

@Red Emerald: if armory does indeed come up then I will send you some coin as I have wanted this for MONTHS.  Thank you thank you thank you!

My formula does not install python because brew's python isn't needed (at least in Lion+).  I built armory against the system python as that required less modifications to the Makefile.  That is also why my ArmoryQt.command uses /usr/bin/python and sets PYTHONPATH.

What version of OSX are you using?

I'm guessing your messing with the links to the Framework folders is why it won't build.  What does this command give for you?

Code:

$ ls -la /usr/lib | grep python2.7
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     wheel    18B Jul 26 16:01 libpython.dylib@ -> libpython2.7.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     wheel    68B Jul 26 16:01 libpython2.7.dylib@ -> ../../System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     wheel    75B Jul 26 16:01 python2.7@ -> ../../System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7

If those don't match me (likely because you have messed with those while trying to get Armory to work in the past), then change them to be what I have and try to reinstall armory-qt.  Don't point them to brew.  The system python should work fine.

What are your system specs? What OS version? Latest dev branch?

My load times aren't nearly that bad, but I'm on a SSD.

Ya probably... it was way out of whack with what you posted, here are my new 'fixed' results

Code:

$ ls -la /usr/lib | grep python2.7

[Red Emerald]

I saw that error on my own system, but building with the proper libpython2.7.a is what fixed it.

After fixing the symlinks, did you reinstall, or did you just try to rerun the command? You will need to uninstall and install again.

Also, what is in your site packages folder?

So I made this super simple for people.  I'm sure etotheipi will eventually do this himself, but if you want Armory up and running fast and right now.

Code:

brew tap WyseNynja/bitcoin
brew install wysenynja/bitcoin/bitcoind
brew install --HEAD wysenynja/bitcoin/armory-qt

You don't need to install bitcoind, but I like to. I might eventually add a startup service for bitcoind.

Just tried to get an updated version of bitcoind from your forumula and got this error:

Code:

Did you do a keg for that from somewhere?

Btw, I finally removed bsddb, so that dependency should be gone...

Though, in the future, I might add it back if the devs don't move on this new wallet format.  Luckily, I am pretty sure they won't be using BSDDB for the new wallet format, but if they procrastinate much longer past when I get compressed public keys, I might have to do this.

But this is for bitcoind.... doesn't that still depend on BDB?

So I made this super simple for people.  I'm sure etotheipi will eventually do this himself, but if you want Armory up and running fast and right now.

Code:

brew tap WyseNynja/bitcoin
brew install wysenynja/bitcoin/bitcoind
brew install --HEAD wysenynja/bitcoin/armory-qt

You don't need to install bitcoind, but I like to. I might eventually add a startup service for bitcoind.

Just tried to get an updated version of bitcoind from your forumula and got this error:

Code:

$ brew install bitcoind                                                                                                                  
Error: No available formula for berkeley-db4 (dependency of bitcoind)

Did you do a keg for that from somewhere?

Btw, I finally removed bsddb, so that dependency should be gone...

Though, in the future, I might add it back if the devs don't move on this new wallet format.  Luckily, I am pretty sure they won't be using BSDDB for the new wallet format, but if they procrastinate much longer past when I get compressed public keys, I might have to do this.

It's in https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-versions

Code:

brew tap homebrew/versions
brew install wysenynja/bitcoin/bitcoind

Red Emerald, amazing formula but how do I upgrade, armory is saying their is a new version but

Code:

% brew upgrade wysenynja/bitcoin/armory-qt
Error: armory-qt-HEAD already installed
% brew upgrade --HEAD wysenynja/bitcoin/armory-qt
Error: armory-qt-HEAD already installed

You can't until he updates the forumla.  Last I knew he was waiting for mac specific things to be merged into master.
