Running python setup.py build

[Croustipate]

Hello, i have the following issue while trying to configure :

python setup.py build
running build
running build_ext
building 'tivsmapi' extension
gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -m64 -mtune=generic -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -fwrapv -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -m64 -mtune=generic -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -fwrapv -fPIC -I/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/sample -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c src/main.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/src/main.o

void pyDictToDsmAppVersion(PyObject* dict, dsmAppVersion* app);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~

It seems that dsmAppVersion went wrong. What the program is supposed to have ?

Thanks !

Do you have the tivsm-api64 package installed?

The data structs are not defined in my code but instead i'm including them from the api sample snippets delivered in the api package

setup.py adds its location as a header dir: /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/sample
you might want to change that.

Hello,

thanks for feedback.

I have the API installed

My API is well located. What could be wrong ?

DSMI_CONFIG should match dsm.sys or dsm.opt ? Your doc says dsm.sys but all TDPs use dsm.opt as DSMI_CONFIG. So what to use ?

[gentoomaniac]

Could be a simple version issue. I used version 7.1.x and never tried it on 6.x.x

check if you can find the definition for dsmAppVersion in the file
/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/sample/dsmapitd.h

regarding the DSMI_CONFIG: rather trust the official docs, then my little hack here ;)

[Croustipate]

hey working fine with 7.1.6 API. I'm gonna try to use this framework now :)

thanks !

Glad it works.

Keep in mind that this is far away from being even in a Beta state.
Tons of functionality is missing and there is no propper error handling (in other words you might experience segmentation faults when supplying wrong values)
