Building Connect on Centos 6+ - anyone done it?

[bloogyct]

Hi All,

 

We have just jumped into Ftrack, and given that there is no build available of Connect for LX, I downloaded the source and attempted a build on Centos 6.6, which is our Studio OS.  I am not getting very far, and was wondering if anyone has done this before, and can give me some hints?

I have setup a Python virtualenv with Python 2.7 and am getting further than with the 6.6 standard 2.6, but it still stops.

 

Right now - I am getting  -

Do you have PySide installed already? That looks as if it would try and compile PySide from source as it is a dependency. And that sounds like something you do not want to do typically.

Hi Sandy,

 

to install qt 4.8 instead of 4.6 you can look at this link:

 

http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/56495-How-to-install-4-8-on-CentOS-6

 

I was able to use it successfully (http://kdeforge.sourceforge.net/).

 

 

Next thing is pyside which can be tricky to compile. Here is a link to a wheel package compiled on Centos 6.6 with the built in python 2.6.

 

https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ftrack-deployment/files/centos6/PySide-1.2.2-cp26-none-linux_x86_64.whl

 

Follow the install instructions here (make sure you run the post install script and that it does not fail)

 

http://pyside.readthedocs.org/en/latest/building/linux.html#installing-pyside-distribution

 

 

you should then be able to install ftrack-connect with our instructions. If you get an error due to not finding pyside-rcc it can be found in the PySide package, just add that to PATH while installing.

 

export PATH=$PATH:/PATH_TO_VIRTUALENV/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PySide/pyside-rcc

 

Once installed you should be able to start it with:

 

python -m ftrack_connect.__main__

 

If it works the login screen should appear. To be able to login you need to download the ftrack api and put that and its dependencies on your PYTHONPATH.

 

Cheers

And here is one for python 2.7 also built on centos 6.6

Thanks so much Bjorn and Thorsten,

 

Got it working, but we have found now that the application.py in ftrack_connect under site-packages does not cater for centos either, it only has Mac and Windows discoverApplications sections - so our action pop up windows are completely blank - we are going to have to add a Linux elif section, and then find out how to register actions and all that good stuff!

 

Otherwise nice to get it finally to run!

 

Cheers

 

Sandy

Hey,

 

we have built a package for Centos 6 now. Anyone interested in it should contact our support and once it is stable enough it will be posted on https://www.ftrack.com/integrations together with Windows and OSX.
