@stefanseefeld
what command are you running, exactly ?
Hakim
@h4k1m0u
Hi @stefanseefeld I'm trying to build boost_python but when I type faber on Windows prompt, I get: the system cannot find the specified path. Any idea what's causing this?
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
Hi @h4k1m0u . Do you have the vswhere tool installed ? (https://github.com/Microsoft/vswhere) faber will attempt to us it to find MSVC installations.
It also inspects the registry, but that only works for older MSVC versions, I think. (Sorry, I'm only an occasional Windows user myself, so lots of this is second-hand knowledge)
Hakim
@h4k1m0u
Thanks for the prompt response @stefanseefeld , I'm actually using VS2015 (v14). Just to be sure, do I install faber simply with a python setup.py install?
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
That should be enough, yes.
(Faber is still under very active development, so it's important to mention what version you are using.)
Hakim
@h4k1m0u
It's version 0.3 (only did a git clone). I installed vswhere but I still have the same problem. Could it be because I have Python 3.7?
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
No, I don't think so. Can you run faber with the --debug option and show the log ? That will give me more details about the exact circumstances of where it stopped.
Here you can see how faber is tested on Appveyor: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/stefanseefeld/faber/build/job/2f4wvrai22l05a2d. At some point I run faber --info=tools cxx and it reports all MSVC versions it can see: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/stefanseefeld/faber/build/job/2f4wvrai22l05a2d#L40
I assume if you run faber --info=tools cxx you get an empty list, right ?
Hakim
@h4k1m0u
It's weird, both faber --debug and faber --info return the same previous message. I don't think the message comes from another program, since where faber points to the script file in Python's directory
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
oh, so you are saying that it's the execution of faber itself that triggers the error ? I assumed it was one of the commands run by faber.
In that case (and just to confirm this is the problem), can you run faber by using python3 path/to/faber/script instead ?
Hakim
@h4k1m0u
That seems to work, it's building boost_python
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
(note that the tests actually run python3 scripts/faber .... the python3 setup.py install execution should actually generate a faber.bat script that's then run.
Do you mind submitting a bug report to https://github.com/stefanseefeld/faber/issues ?
Hakim
@h4k1m0u
Sure
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
Many thanks !

hey is the project of python library for gsoc still open to select anyone?
because i think it is easy for me to work in it
and if yes i can send you the implementation of python's set in c++ asap

@NirmalManoj
Hi everyone, I'm Nirmal, a CS undergraduate student from IIIT Hyderabad, India. I would like to work with boostc++ for this year's GSoC. I want to connect with this community to know more about this org. But, many of the boostorg's chat rooms are not accessible. So can someone please tell me the chat room I should join be joining in case this is not the right one? Asking because this seems like a sub-room for detailed discussions.

So it sounds like travis-ci.org is going to get a lot more restricted for open source projects. Any thoughts on migrating python's CI? Github Actions?
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
Hi @teeks99 , thanks for your help ! I'm trying to familiarise myself with github actions now. It seems this could even cover other platforms such as Windows, so we could get rid not only of travis-ci but also appveyor
Tom Kent
@teeks99
Yeah, they have linux, windows, and mac...so all the major platforms.
What do you think of the pull request that does the 8 linux configurati
ons? I was thinking it would be best to get the easiest ones going first.
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
Yeah, I think I'm going to merge them. Still trying to understand all the details...:-)
Tom Kent
@teeks99
Anything I can do to help explain it?
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
Is there anything we need to do to enable github actions ? How can I test your PR in the target repo ?
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
Another (more specific) question is: looking at https://github.com/boostorg/python/pull/335/files#diff-1a8cf21570cf96acf7408fd6572a61a36aae89cb22dd3563de3b936f9e89bcb8 I wonder how you install faber. Is this already included in your docker image ?
Tom Kent
@teeks99
Yes, both the gcc and clang image get faber, as well as the BCP'ed part of the tree for python dependencies.
I don't believe there is anything you need to do to enable them, but I could be wrong. I didn't have to do anything for my forked repo. Testing the PR is more difficult. Might be easiest to bring that one file in on your own branch in the boostorg/python repo. This, being an infrastructure change, is a bit different than a normal code change.
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
OK, thanks for the explanation. I'm experimenting right now with setting this up for the faber project. I'm almost done (Ubuntu and Windows builds are working, still looking into some OSX issues, then comes doc generation).
As soon as all this is working, I'll move on to Boost.Python. I expect to complete this before the end of the year.
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
@teeks99 , do you have experience with OSX ? I have set up a workflow (for faber only, for now) for Ubuntu, Windows, and OSX, but the latter produces link errors: https://github.com/stefanseefeld/faber/runs/1583570864?check_suite_focus=true
I wonder whether I missed anything in the Python setup...
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
Hmm, I start to wonder: I thought only on Windows do python extensions need to be linked against libpython. The above error looks like on OSX, too.
Tom Kent
@teeks99
I'm definitely not a mac expert. Before my try that failed yesterday morning (see the comment in the github issue) it had probably been a decade since I last worked with a Mac. I think the problem I was having is something similar.
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
I think I understand the issue: -undefined,dynamic_lookup is missing somewhere
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
Faber migration to github actions is complete (https://github.com/stefanseefeld/faber/actions), now on to Boost.Python. :-)
Tom Kent
@teeks99
Sounds good!
Stefan Seefeld
@stefanseefeld
I have a few comments on boostorg/python#335, and as we are here, perhaps it's easier to do this live...
Can you squash all commits into one, but leave out the change to the appveyor config ? That way the PR will be a single commit, adding a single file. Also, as you said yourself, the 1.66 release is rather old, so perhaps this would be an opportunity to move to a more recent boost release as baseline ? (only if this is easy and quick to do)
Otherwise this looks great, and I'm really thankful for your help with this.
