Required C Compilation

[BradRuderman]

I am having a few people reach out to me with different OS's (CentOS, Windows, Mac) that are having issues with getting python-sasl to install. I think it has something to do with compilation using the c compiler. Do you have any tutorials for setting up a compiler on vanilla machines and attaching to a python installation.

Thanks!

I ran into this on CentOS 6 with Python 2.6.6. Here is the result of trying to do "pip install pyhs2"...

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pyhs2 in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
Downloading/unpacking sasl (from pyhs2)
  Downloading sasl-0.1.2.tar.gz
  Running setup.py egg_info for package sasl
Downloading/unpacking thrift (from pyhs2)
  Downloading thrift-0.9.1.tar.gz
  Running setup.py egg_info for package thrift
Installing collected packages: sasl, thrift
  Running setup.py install for sasl

[ChuckConnell]

Solved by doing some additional yum installs first...

gcc-c++
python-devel.x86_64
cyrus-sasl-devel.x86_64

Credit to http://charlesconnell.com/resume.pdf

"pip install pyhs2" now installs cleanly.

[mic159]

It might be a good idea to list the dependencies in pypi page.

something like:

This library contains C++ code, and will require some additional system libraries installed.

Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install python-dev libsasl2-dev gcc
CentOS/RHEL: yum install gcc-c++ python-devel.x86_64 cyrus-sasl-devel.x86_64

[lihang00]

I'm still trying to figure how this can work in win7...

[vparikh10]

hi lihang00!

have you figured how this works on win 7? i am trying to install sasl package using win7 and its not working :(

[malina-kirn]

Compiling sasl in Windows seems to be nearly impossible. However, Carnegie Mellon provides a pre-compiled Windows installer here: ftp://ftp.cyrusimap.org/cyrus-sasl/BINARY-DISTRIBUTION/

Is it at all possible to get python-sasl to use an installed cyrus sasl binary instead of recompiling from core C code?

[jamartinh]

Please by god.
On centos and redhat include:

cyrus-sasl-plain in requirements.

[Russell-DataScience]

Interestingly (?) it completes the compile step without a hitch for python but not python3.

[apogre]

apt-get install python-dev libsasl2-dev gcc
this worked for me at ubuntu.

[com0606]

I'd like to install it on win7, but it lacks some .h files.

[gohkenneth]

No one managed to do it in windows 7?
I managed to get most of the .h files except unistd.h which is not a windows file.

[akafazov]

hi gohkenneth, same here.

[bundgus]

gohkenneth, akafazov - same here.

[aneverov4vmw]

Seems like I finally managed to compile SASL2 on Windows and consume it from pip. Documented the steps here.
