building/running on Fedora 37

[ratmice]

I don't know much of anything about python, but trying to build on fedora 37 I ran into a few issues.

• first patch fixes running LucasR.py, Without this all calls to _("foo") take the form of a call to None(...), so I imported gettext and defined _ so it is no longer None. I can only imagine either my python or some dependency has changed such _ is no longer being defined anywhere.
• second patch when running the built installer fixes a None in Icons.get() of the changed file, within that function the bin_icons and dict_icons are None.

Thanks

Thank you very much for the suggestions

_ is defined as a builtin in

The possibility to select icons turned as sepia and darked, perhaps has some issue in Linux, I have to test it.

Thanks for the feedback, i'll see if I can't figure out why this builtin given above doesn't appear to be getting defined!

[ratmice]

So, i'm a bit stumped I added a call to print "Initializing translations" to stderr the __init__ function given above (using the main branch), from the bug.log file, it seems that function is actually being called but the _ builtin still seems to be None, a bit perplexing.

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Edit: I should also note I tried running LucasChessR.py -translate foo and that popped up a window and seemed to work.

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

You could test if file Translate.py, function install is executed You could add a print below Code.translations = Translations(lang), something like print(lang)

[ratmice]

I went ahead and added a print both before and after, the code in that branch which gets hit once

        print("Before Translations: ", Code.translations, lang, None if Code.translations == None else Code.translations.lang)
        Code.translations = Translations(lang)
        print("After translations: ", lang)

The thing I note is that the __init__ print statement shows up in the middle, I assume due to the call to Translations(lang),

Before Translations:  None en None
Initializing translations
After translations:  en

Have you kept the folder structure after downloading the sources?

[ratmice]

I'm not exactly sure that I understand what exactly is being asked,

Building from git I had done a git clean, to remove untracked files, and can checkout the unmodified sources from git.

Alternately the only modifications to the source directory were those listed in step 6 of http://lucaschess.blogspot.com/2021/07/linux-tutorial-for-creating-installer.html

I did a build using the R2.04 tag, which had previously worked fine on an older version of fedora 36. So it seems likely that there is some change in a newer version of python versions may have caused this to no longer work.

[lukasmonk]

It is tested with python 3.7 and 3.8

Sorry, meant to mention f37 has Python 3.11
