I am trying to install gattlib
in Python in order to use some of its Bluetooth-tools.
The OS is ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS.
I have by now tried the following (as e.g. here):
sudo apt-get install mercurial
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/OscarAcena/pygattlib
cd pygattlib
cat DEPENDS
sudo apt-get install libboost-thread-dev libboost-python-dev libbluetooth-dev libglib2.0-dev python-dev
sudo python3 setup.py install
which gives (my Python is 3.6.9):
usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost-python36
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-g++' failed with exit status 1
Also, I tried:
sudo apt install python3-gattlib
which gives:
the following packages have unmet dependencies:
python3-gattlib: Depends: python3 (>= 3.7~) but 3.6.7-1~18.04 is to be installed
Depends: libboost-python1.67.0 but is is not installable
Depends: libboost-thread1.67.0 but is is not installable
despite libboost-python and libboost-thread being successfully installed in the first attempt (see above), and python3
returning Python 3.6.9
.
pip3 install gattlib
shows:
Building wheel for gattlib(setup.py) ... error
Running setup.py install for gattlib ... error
Which is the exact same result that I get from (following instructions from this question):
sudo pip3 download gattlib
sudo tar xvzf ./gattlib-0.20200122.tar.gz
cd gattlib-0.20200122/
sudo sed -ie 's/boost_python-py34/boost_python36/' setup.py
pip3 install .
in which I understand to be a necessary adjustment of the installation file before running it, because, if I understood correctly, the python version is somehow wrongly hardcoded in there.
Futher things I tried and that did not help:
pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install libpython-dev
sudo apt-get install libevent-dev
sudo pip3 install gattlib
wget -qO- http://pike.esi.uclm.es/add-pike-repo.sh | sudo sh
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-gattlib
sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev
pip3 install --upgrade pip
sudo apt-get install mercurial
pip3 install gattlib
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
cd /usr/lib/x86-64-linux-gnu
sudo ln -s libboost_python-py35.so libboost_python-py36.so
sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev bluez bluez-hcidump libboost-python-dev libboost-thread-dev libglib2.0-dev
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/OscarAcena/pygattlib
cd pygattlib
cat DEPENDS
sudo apt-get install libboost-thread-dev libboost-python-dev libbluetooth-dev libglib2.0-dev python-dev
sudo python3 setup.py install
sudo python setup.py install
pip3 install gTTS
sudo apt-get install python3 python-dev python3-dev \
build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev \
libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev \
python-pip
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude install libboost-all-dev
I run
and I also get error
because I don't have
boost-python36.a
butboost-python3-py36.a
.(I found this file using
locate boost-python3
which uses database with filenames so it works faster thenfind
but it may not be installed as default)I had to edit
setup.py
and changeto
or more universal
