I'm trying to build libglib on Windows. I realise there are pre-built versions available but I'm trying to figure out how to build everything - including the various Python and Perl scripts. I've mastered everything except for the Python script called gdbus-codegen.py, which looks like this (after I've inserted a couple of paths that are relevant to my particular system):-
Whenever I try to run this script I get an error at line 39. That's the line that reads:-Code:#! E:/Program Files/Python31/python.exe

import os
import sys
srcdir = os.getenv('UNINSTALLED_GLIB_SRCDIR', None)
if srcdir is not None:
path = os.path.join(srcdir, 'gio', 'gdbus-2.0')
elif os.name == 'nt':
# Makes gdbus-codegen 'relocatable' at runtime on Windows.
path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..', 'lib', 'gdbus-2.0')
else:
path = os.path.join('F:/+GTK-SOURCES/gnu-win32/src/glib/gio/', 'glib-2.0')
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(path))
from codegen import codegen_main
sys.exit(codegen_main.codegen_main())
and the error that I see is:-Code:from codegen import codegen_main
Various things have been suggested to me. One is to check that the directory containing gdbus-codegen.py contains a file called __init__.py (which it does). This apparently marks the directory as a 'package' which allows things to get imported from it. I was also advised to try running python -m, passing the relevant folder (which declares it as a package) but I couldn't figure out the proper syntax. Mostly I kept getting the error Import by filename is not supported. Finally, I was advised to change:-Quote:
ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package
from codegen import codegen_main
and just use this instead:-
import codegen_main
but that didn't help either. :cry:
I've tried Python 2.7 and Python 3.1 and have now completely run out of ideas. Is it possible that importing just isn't supported on Windows :confused:
