Installing Firefox Sync Server 1.5

pjgm · 10-28-2015, 07:11 AM

Hi All.

I'm trying to install the firefox sync server on my qnap server but i'm getting some problems... Yes, I'm a Newbie

( https://docs.services.mozilla.com/ho...-sync-1.5.html )

I've already installed "Virtualenv" ... (I Think...

)

Code:

[admin@Qnap syncserver]# cd /opt/local/bin
[admin@Qnap bin]# ls
virtualenv* virtualenv-2.6* virtualenv-2.7*

and "make"...

but when I try to build the server I'm getting:

Code:

[admin@Qnap syncserver]# make build
virtualenv --python=`which python2 python | head -n 1` --no-site-packages ./local
/bin/sh: virtualenv: command not found
make: *** [local/COMPLETE] Error 127

Any ideas?

Many Thanks
pjgm

Why does virtualenv* have an asteriks at the end? What alias of ls do you have. If i recall correctly * means a symlink to something. Check out with ls -l.
Is /opt/local/bin in your $PATH? I'd vote for no so make is not able to find virtualenv.
Can you ./configure with an explisit path to virtualenv?

What distribution your working on?

Hi zhjim,

First of all many thanks for helping me...

I'm working on TS-239 Pro II+ x86 processor with a Embedded Linux ... with QTS 4.2 firmware

Code:

[admin@Qnap ~]# cd /opt/local/bin                                                                                                                                                             
[admin@Qnap bin]# ls                                                                                                                                                                          
virtualenv*     virtualenv-2.6* virtualenv-2.7*
[admin@Qnap bin]# ls -l                                                                                                                                                                       
-rwxr-xr-x    1 admin    administ       282 Oct 26 16:59 virtualenv*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 admin    administ        57 Oct 25 15:58 virtualenv-2.6*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 admin    administ       290 Oct 26 16:59 virtualenv-2.7*
[admin@Qnap bin]#

sorry but as I said I am a linux noob

How can I do it?

Thanks again!

Okay the ls -l did not show any symlinks. So the * at the end of the filenames puzzle me even more. What happens if you run virutalenv* (outside of make).

Quote:

cd /opt/local/bin
./virtualenv*

To add to a variable

Quote:

PATH="$PATH:/opt/local/bin"

The : is the path seperator and needs to be included. check out your PATH var before and after with echo $PATH

configure should have an --help option. Try ./configure --help in the source code path.

pjgm · 10-29-2015, 03:35 AM

Hi zhjim,

Here we go...

Code:

[admin@Qnap bin]# ./virtualenv*
There must be only one argument: DEST_DIR (you gave ./virtualenv-2.6 ./virtualenv-2.7)
Usage: virtualenv [OPTIONS] DEST_DIR
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose Increase verbosity.
-q, --quiet Decrease verbosity.
-p PYTHON_EXE, --python=PYTHON_EXE
The Python interpreter to use, e.g.,
--python=python2.5 will use the python2.5 interpreter
to create the new environment. The default is the
interpreter that virtualenv was installed with
(/opt/bin/python2.7)
--clear Clear out the non-root install and start from scratch.
--no-site-packages DEPRECATED. Retained only for backward compatibility.
Not having access to global site-packages is now the
default behavior.
--system-site-packages
Give the virtual environment access to the global
site-packages.
--always-copy Always copy files rather than symlinking.
--unzip-setuptools Unzip Setuptools when installing it.
--relocatable Make an EXISTING virtualenv environment relocatable.
This fixes up scripts and makes all .pth files
relative.
--no-setuptools Do not install setuptools (or pip) in the new
virtualenv.
--no-pip Do not install pip in the new virtualenv.
--no-wheel Do not install wheel in the new virtualenv.
--extra-search-dir=DIR
Directory to look for setuptools/pip distributions in.
This option can be used multiple times.
--never-download DEPRECATED. Retained only for backward compatibility.
This option has no effect. Virtualenv never downloads
pip or setuptools.
--prompt=PROMPT Provides an alternative prompt prefix for this
environment.
--setuptools DEPRECATED. Retained only for backward compatibility.
This option has no effect.
--distribute DEPRECATED. Retained only for backward compatibility.
This option has no effect.

and...

Code:

[admin@Qnap bin]# echo $PATH
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/jre/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/Apps/bin:/Apps/sbin
[admin@Qnap bin]#

and...

Code:

[admin@Qnap bin]# ./configure --help
-sh: ./configure: No such file or directory

cheers

Okay virtualenv is working. Now we need the make to get it.
I'm not that strong when it comes to make but lets try to get virtualenv inside your $PATH. As you have /opt/bin already in there lets create a symlink.

Quote:

ln -s /opt/local/virtualenv* /opt/bin

then do make again.

pjgm · 10-29-2015, 07:24 AM

no luck

Code:

[admin@Qnap syncserver]# ln -s /opt/local/virtualenv* /opt/bin
[admin@Qnap syncserver]# make build
virtualenv --python=`which python2 python | head -n 1` --no-site-packages ./local
/bin/sh: virtualenv: command not found
make: *** [local/COMPLETE] Error 127

EDIT: make is searching on /local/bin/sh right?

Why are we pointing to /opt/local/virtualenv* ?

zhjim · 10-29-2015, 10:12 AM

Actually I have no clue where make is searching. the line

Quote:

/bin/sh: virtualenv: command not found

tells that the programm /bin/sh tries to run virtualenv. Which it does not find.

I spotted an error on my side. The ln command should not have worked propably. Instead of /opt/bin it should have bin /opt/bin/virtualenv. So try this please

Quote:

ln -s /opt/local/virtualenv* /opt/bin/virtualenv

After that check with ls -l that the symlink got created.

You could also symlink virtualenv* to the source code directory or /bin or /sbin. I just don't know where make is searching for it. Might want to check the makefile with grep. Something like this

Quote:

grep virtualenv -A 5 -B 5./Makefile

pjgm · 10-29-2015, 10:33 AM

ls -l

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 admin administ 22 Oct 29 15:25 virtualenv -> /opt/local/virtualenv*@

and...

Code:

[admin@Qnap bin]# grep virtualenv -A 5 -B 5./Makefile
grep: invalid context length argument

pjgm · 10-29-2015, 02:49 PM

Here you have the Make file content...

Code:

SYSTEMPYTHON = `which python2 python | head -n 1`
VIRTUALENV = virtualenv --python=$(SYSTEMPYTHON)
ENV = ./local
TOOLS := $(addprefix $(ENV)/bin/,flake8 nosetests)

# Hackety-hack around OSX system python bustage.
# The need for this should go away with a future osx/xcode update.
ARCHFLAGS = -Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future

# Hackety-hack around errors duing compile of ultramemcached.
CFLAGS = "-Wno-error -Wno-error=format-security"

INSTALL = CFLAGS=$(CFLAGS) ARCHFLAGS=$(ARCHFLAGS) $(ENV)/bin/pip install

one more thing...

This was the steps to install virtualenv:

Code:

Note that..

Code:

Installed /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Optware/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv-13.1.2-py2.7.egg

So... now I've got good news and bad news...

Code:

[/share/Web/syncserver] # make build
virtualenv --python=`which python2 python | head -n 1` --no-site-packages ./local
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package
make: *** [local/COMPLETE] Error 1

Symlink problem solved but now I've got this error above...

I've picked several python modules from git to get here... but I think:

- I need Python-dev (and I don't know how to install it)
- Maybe collections.py it's not the right one (version)...

any ideas?

zhjim · 10-30-2015, 03:21 AM

Getting closer. I finally read up the install page you linked in you #1 post. You definitely need phyton-dev as its listed as prerequisites. Also the virtualenv link goes to version 13.*. You have 2.7... Thats a wide gap and might be a problem as well.

I can't find anything specific about the OS your using, so i can't help you with installing. But most distributions have some kind of package manager. Lets see if we can find out the distribution. Please provide the output from the following

uname -a
find /etc -iname '*version*'

Hi zhjim,

HI zhjim,

I really want to thank you for your help...
