From a user's view, he should think that it lacks of PyGobject, but the real problem is that the version of Gtk+ or PyGtk doesn't meet, this confuses the user. It would be good if it can tell the user clearly what's wrong. Another problem is that, bitbake/lib/bb/ui/hob.py: 33 if gtkver < (2, 20, 0) or pygtkver < (2, 22, 0): 34 sys.exit("%s,\nYou have Gtk+ %s and PyGtk %s." % (requirements, 35 ".".join(map(str, gtkver)), 36 ".".join(map(str, pygtkver)))) Usually, The gtk version is greater than or equal to the pygtk on a host, but it seems that hob requires a greater version of pygtk than gtk, which seems strange. 21717 1 shane.wang 2012-05-30 03:04:24 +0000 Give it to Josh since he made the change of the code piece you mentioned. I also prefer Hob can run on Ubuntu 10.04, otherwise it is very inconvenient for me to test with my Ubuntu 10.04 machine. Just a suggestion;-) 21718 2 liezhi.yang 2012-05-30 03:08:21 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > Give it to Josh since he made the change of the code piece you mentioned.

Just a suggestion;-) I used the following patch to make it work on Ubuntu 10.10 (change the required version lower), maybe you can try a similar change on Ubuntu 10.04: diff --git a/bitbake/lib/bb/ui/hob.py b/bitbake/lib/bb/ui/hob.py --- a/bitbake/lib/bb/ui/hob.py +++ b/bitbake/lib/bb/ui/hob.py @@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ try: pygtk.require('2.0') # to be certain we don't have gtk+ 1.x !?! gtkver = gtk.gtk_version pygtkver = gtk.pygtk_version - if gtkver < (2, 20, 0) or pygtkver < (2, 22, 0): + if gtkver < (2, 20, 0) or pygtkver < (2, 21, 0): sys.exit("%s,\nYou have Gtk+ %s and PyGtk %s." % (requirements, ".".join(map(str, gtkver)), ".".join(map(str, pygtkver)))) 21719 3 shane.wang 2012-05-30 03:13:28 +0000 Robert, you can't change it in that way. Here is the conversation between Josh and me.

The plan is to provide an external-python-tarball with a full Gtk+ & PyGtk nativesdk stack built by OE-Core/Poky and installed into a standalone sysroot on the users host. Whilst I have a branch based on some work by Richard to achieve this it hasn't been submitted to upstream as I haven't figured out a clean way to handle things on the SDK host which would usually require a postinstall in the target rootfs. Aside: I really can't see a clean way around requiring postinst type functionality for the SDK targets, particularly in the pagno case here. I'm currently ruminating on supercharging the toolchain scripts to handle this. > What kind of failure did you meet on Ubuntu 10.04? IIRC the set_action_widget() API I referred to in the original email isn't available in the version of Gtk+ and PyGtk that was shipped with Ubuntu 10.04. This is required to add the search entry to the gtk.Notebook. Cheers, Joshua 21720 4 liezhi.yang 2012-05-30 03:18:46 +0000 (In reply to comment #3) > Robert, you can't change it in that way.

For the issue of "Usually, The gtk version is greater than or equal to the pygtk on a host, but it seems that hob requires a greater version of pygtk than gtk, which seems strange.", for GTK versions, there are: "2.16, 2.18, 2.20, 2.24", and for pyGTK, the versions are: "2.16, 2.17, 2.21, 2.22", therefore the current judgement: "if gtkver < (2, 20, 0) or pygtkver < (2, 21, 0):" does make sense. 23115 6 liang.li2 2012-07-16 10:14:00 +0000 verified: git info: eb0cb7e8234f5d2e5623406e9660be91cf52f65e git branch: poky/master
