How to install cx_Freeze on AIX?

  • 1.  How to install cx_Freeze on AIX?

    Posted Tue August 08, 2023 06:06 AM

    Is it any way to install cx_freeze on AIX 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3?

    when I try to install it by using pip install, there is some error... not sure how to resolve it, please help to give some advice. 

    I'm using  python3.9.12 and pip 23.2.1

    I tried both gcc and openxlc, but not albe to install

    $ pip3 install cx_Freeze

    You are using AIX base python3 which ships with AIX 7.3. It is built using xlc compiler, so if you are using gcc as CC , then it will not work. Because the options are not compatible.

    if you read your logs carefully you might notice that you are NOT using xlc but ibm clang which is not compatible. as said the aix delivered python3 is build using xlc compiler so you have to use the xlc compiler to build python modules, or better use the freeware python3 to spare you from all this hassles.

    on the AIX 7.3, I use openxlc, not xlc since I don't have a xlc version can install on 7.3. 

    so I try it on the AIX 7.2, I use xlc, and installed cx_Freeze successful, but I can not use it compile any python file, because it shows error. seems Console-cpython-39 is not generated during install cx_freeze with pip. could you help to give some advice how to generate Console-cpython-39? thanks. 

    cx_Freeze.exception.OptionError: no base named 'Console' ('Console-cpython-39')

    Hey everyone, I've been digging through the logs and noticed something odd. It seems we're using IBM Clang, not XLC. Just a heads up, the AIX-delivered Python3 was built using the XLC compiler, so for building Python modules, XLC should be the go-to. Maybe consider using the freeware Python3 to save some headaches? Honestly, looking back, I wish I hadn't even started this thread. My apologies. 🤦‍♂️

    https://cx-freeze.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html

    As mentioned by @C- -T I think you can go with Toolbox python3. Get the source tar file of cx_Freeze, extract it and then run "python3 setup.py build". This will build the Console-cpython-39 I guess. Then install it.

    You need the below changes in the setup.py

    thanks for the steps, it build console-cpython-39 on AIX 7.2 with xlc. 

    and after patchelf isntalled, I can use the cx_freeze to compile the py file. 

    I will try to build executable and run on other AIX servers. 

    Thank you very much.

    Great tip, @C--T! It's awesome that you've found a workaround for getting cx_Freeze to work on different platforms. The changes to the setup.py file look straightforward but are probably crucial for anyone working on a system like AIX. These are the little adjustments that can make a big difference but are often overlooked in broader documentation.
     
    And for anyone who isn't familiar with modifying setup files, this is a good reminder that sometimes you've got to dive in and make changes to get things to work in your specific environment. Just make sure to backup any original files before making changes, so you can revert if needed.
     
    Keep these tips coming; they're valuable for tv tackling those nuanced issues that can be huge roadblocks.

    I have installed cx_Freeze and able to use it create excutable file. 

    I'm able to run it on the same server which I create the excutable file, but when I copy the files to other servers and run it. 

    it got some error...

    exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./CALL_PYTHON because of the following errors:
        0509-150   Dependent module libpython3.9.a(libpython3.9.so) could not be loaded.
        0509-022 Cannot load module libpython3.9.a(libpython3.9.so).
        0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist

    even I included libpython3.9.a(libpython3.9.so) in the build, still has the same error, 

    could you advice how to resolve this issue? thanks.

    Oh man, dependency issues like these can be a real headache, can't they? I've run into similar roadblocks when porting Python executables to different servers. It seems like the server where you're trying to run the executable doesn't know where to find libpython3.9.a(libpython3.9.so).
     
    First things first, did you try specifying the path of the library in your environment variables or during the build process? Sometimes, adding the path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH can do the trick.
     
    Another thing to consider is if the server you're moving the file to has a compatible architecture and system libraries. It's possible that there might be inconsistencies that are causing the library not to load.
     
    Finally, it could also be a permissions issue. Double-check that the library goku tu and the directories it resides in have appropriate permissions to be accessed by your executable.
     
    I'd recommend trying these out to see if it solves your issue. Let me know how it goes. Good luck!

    Installing cx_Freeze on AIX (Advanced Interactive eXecutive) can be a bit more involved than on other platforms due to its unique nature. However, here are the general steps you can follow:
     
    Prerequisites:
     
    Ensure you have Python installed on your AIX system. If not, you'll need to get it from the AIX toolbox or compile it from source.
    Development tools and libraries (like GCC) are required to compile certain packages.
    Install pip (if not already installed):
     
    Copy code
    Use pip to install cx_Freeze:
     
    Copy code
    pip install cx_Freeze
    If you run into errors during installation, it might be due to missing dependencies or AIX-specific quirks. You may need to obtain these dependencies manually or make adjustments to the installation process to accommodate AIX.
     
    Compile from Source:
    If you're unable to install cx_Freeze using pip, you can try compiling it from source:
     
    Download the cx_Freeze source code from its GitHub repository or PyPI.
    Navigate to the directory containing the source code.
    Run the following commands to compile and install:
     
    Copy code
    python setup.py build
    python setup.py install
    Check Installation:
    After installation, you can verify it by running:
     
    Copy code
    cxfreeze --version
    Remember, GB AIX might not always have the same vast libraries and easy setups as Linux or other UNIX-like OSs, so you may need to adjust these instructions to fit your specific setup or environment. If you run into specific issues, consider reaching out to AIX-specific forums or communities, as they might have encountered similar challenges.
