[GNUe] Problems with GNUe under Vista 64

[Duane Kaufman]

Hello,

My name is Duane Kaufman, and I am new to GNUe. I thought I would give
it a test drive on a Vista64 machine here at work.

I installed the Windows binaries (Question: is this the _only_
sanctioned way to install this, or can I install source, if I meet the
dependencies?)

I have installed:
gnue-common-0.6.9.win32-py2.5.exe
gnue-forms-0.6.3.win32-py2.5.exe
gnue-runtime-environment-2009.10.31.win32-py2.5.exe

When I attempt to run gnue-forms (by double-clicking on C:\Program
Files (x86)\GNUe\bin\gnue-forms.exe, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gnue-forms", line 34, in <module>
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNUe\bin\gnue\forms\GFClient.py",
line 197, in run

in _create_widget_
AttributeError: 'GFForm' object has no attribute '_layout'

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Duane

No, you can install from source if you prefer. As you say, you then have
to resolve the dependencies yourself, and without the aid of a nice
package management system like apt or rpm. But if you want to run
anything other than the most recent release version (e.g. release
candidates or even the nightly snapshots), this is the better way of
doing it. The Windows binaries are there simply as an alternative for
wusses and Windows users (bearing in mind these two groups tend to be
fairly closely co-related -- especially if I'm anything to go by!).

I would have sworn that there was a list of dependencies, along with
links to some of the harder-to-find ones, somewhere on the website. But
of course now I'm looking for it, I can't actually find it...

I have just been able to do a pull from subversion, and I believe I
have it all installed, but I continue to get the same error as previous.

The command I am using is (sorry for the long line):
c:\python25\python gnue-forms
C:\Users\dkaufman\GNUe\share\gnue\forms\defaults\default.gfd

Am I mis-using gnue-forms?

Thanks,
Duane

You can of course install source. You can look at
gnue-common/packaging/win32/README.runtime for a list of dependencies,
where of course you won't need all of them, depending on the components
of GNUe you'll use and the database backend.

Having said that, installing the binaries is much easier.

gnue-common-0.6.9.win32-py2.5.exe
gnue-forms-0.6.3.win32-py2.5.exe
gnue-runtime-environment-2009.10.31.win32-py2.5.exe

This should be ok. However, you'll need a form definition.

GNUe Forms is a flexible user interface generator: how the user
interface should look like and how it should link to a database is
defined in an XML file usually called something.gfd.

Since you've already managed to download svn, you might want to look at
the gnue-sample directory.

I guess it would be a good idea to include a complete prebuilt example
in gnue-forms. I'll consider that for the next releases.

Thanks,
Reinhard

I did try to use gnue-forms with a definition file

error as before:

Hi, Duane!

I did try to use gnue-forms with a definition file
d(...\GNUe\share\gnue\forms\defaults\default.gfd), but I got the same

default.gfd is not a complete, proper form definition file, it contains
only the standard menu and toolbar.

You could find some examples in svn (samples subdirectory), but some of
them require a database to be set up first.

Maybe try gauntlet/gauntlet.gfd from that directory. Or you set up the
database for gnue-sample (also in SVN) and try those forms.

Thanks,
Reinhard

Hi,

Yay! gauntlet works. So now I can proceed getting a DB setup and all.

Thanks,
Duane
