Unable to build on HASS.IO raspberry pi

[tomh05]

I've tried building this in homeassistant on a raspberry pi but get this error.

Unable to install package magicblue==0.4.3:
Command "/usr/bin/python3 -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;file='/tmp/pip-build-mhr74ky0/bluepy/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-98pxt0j5-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --prefix --compile --user --prefix="
failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-mhr74ky0/bluepy/

Any ideas what's going wrong, or where I'd be able to get more detailed logs for debugging?

I can't really help with magicblue, so can you let me know what happens if you try to install bluepy on its own?

The README.md file has full instructions, but you'll need to sudo apt-get install libbglib2.0-dev first, and use pip3 install if installing for Python 3.

Installation issues are currently being discussed at #158 .

Thanks

I too found my way here by trying to incorporate bluepy with homeassistant. I'm running HA with the All-In-One installer (on Debian) and I was able to add bluepy via pip no problem. The problem you may be facing is that Hass.io is based on ResinOS and Docker images and behaves differently than a standard OS. I've not played with Hass.io much yet because I do want a full OS underneath my HA installation for this very reason.

If the problem is installation related - I'd recommend trying to install bluepy from source as documented in the README.md file. There's ongoing discussion at #158 about installation problems.

If you're running on a Raspberry Pi Zero, check out #223 - we currently have some issues with the helper not being correctly by pip on that platform.

If there are problems you suspect are Docker related, there was a thread at moby/moby#16208 discussing similar issues.

Thanks
