Following prerequisites Step #9.4: "Building wheel for hidapi (pyproject.toml) did not run successfu

Nic_Roozeboom · ‎10-16-2024

Hi, step 9.4 of the prerequisites, "Install SPSDK from Github into your Python virtual environment" did not complete entirely successfully. Error report below (the rest completed successfully).

Subsequently visiting the indicated resource, "", does not lead to an installer/updater that resolves the problem.

Is this error relevant, or can be ignored?

If relevant, can you recommend the proper steps / resources to resolve?

Kind regards,

Nic

Hello Nic,

I had the same error during SPSDK installation and I also installed Microsoft Visual C++ manually, then it was solved.

Did you install the C++ x64/x86 build tools and Windows SDK as indicated in this link?

Below is a screenshot from the options I selected in the Visual Studio Build tools installer (Windows 10 SDK in my case):

Hi,

I am not really familiar with Termux, I know that SPSDK is supported on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, I am not sure if this is compatible with the linux running on Termux.

Do you know the OS version running on Termux?

Regards

Daniel Martinez

Seems like the problem is because the system did not find Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0, could you please try to use the next command:
pip install --upgrade setuptools
Then try again, let's see if this solves the problem, before to install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 manually

Nic_Roozeboom · ‎10-16-2024

I manually installed Microsoft Visual C++, rebooted my machine, re-ran the script "pip install -U spsdk" but it still terminates in the same error.

Then, re-ran "pip install --upgrade setuptools" and did the install again, same result.

(GetSpsdk) C:\Users\usb01768\GetSpsdk\Scripts>pip install --upgrade setuptools
Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in c:\users\usb01768\getspsdk\lib\site-packages (75.2.0)

I verified that I have Microsoft Visual C++ >v14.0 installed:

This is getting very frustrating.

Do you have any other ideas as to what might be the cause, and solution?

I also feel like there should be a check / update step in the Prerequisites document to prevent users from running into this.

Thanks very much!

Kind regards,

Nic

Jorge_Gonzalez · ‎10-16-2024

Hello Nic,

I had the same error during SPSDK installation and I also installed Microsoft Visual C++ manually, then it was solved.

Did you install the C++ x64/x86 build tools and Windows SDK as indicated in this link?

Below is a screenshot from the options I selected in the Visual Studio Build tools installer (Windows 10 SDK in my case):

Nic_Roozeboom · ‎10-16-2024

Hi Jorge and team,

Just re-installed Visual C++ with the modified attributes, and now pip install -U spsdk completes without error. Thanks for helping resolve this!

I would recommend to add a check early on in the Prerequisites document, to prevent this corner case for some users, as it is time-consuming to correct late in the process (including requiring reboots, which doesn't help efficiency either).

Thanks again!

Kind regards,

Nic

Jorge_Gonzalez · ‎10-16-2024

I am glad it worked Nic!

I agree about your recommendation of the Prerequisites document.

Regards!

Jorge Gonzalez

Nic_Roozeboom · ‎10-16-2024

Hi Jorge, thanks for your reply! It's encouraging that you found and fixed the issue.

I will modify my Build Tools install as below. This will take some time, so likely will revisit tomorrow.

Kind regards,

Nic

Nic_Roozeboom · ‎10-16-2024

"pip install --upgrade setuptools" ran successfully but it did not resolve the issue - "pip install --upgrade setuptools" ran with same error. Will proceed to manual-install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0
