That duplicate same files with the normal reltive path in below.

You're correct @Badiboy, it looks like distutils does not like distutils.util.convert_path() does not like absolute paths that are generated in pycld2.egg-info/SOURCES.txt.

When I run ./setup.py sdist (on Mac OSX), it dumps (some) absolute paths into pycld2.egg-info/SOURCES.txt, namely those in pycld2/bindings/.cc and pycld2/cld2/internal/.cc.

I believe this is ironically from adding some path.join() calls in setup.py, i.e. the specification of src_files.

After switching to relative paths there, make clean and rerunning sdist generates only relative paths in pycld2.egg-info/SOURCES.txt.

@aboSamoor do you mind uploading 0.42 to PyPI?

Or, you can add me as a maintainer at https://pypi.org/manage/project/pycld2/collaboration/. (My username there is bsolomon1124 also.) A maintainer can upload releases for a package. but can't add other collaborators, delete files, releases, or the project.

Just a reminder to update the pypi release, the latest available release on pypi is still 0.41, which doesn't install on Windows.

[witzatom]

hi, im also having this issue. A pypi update would be greatly appreciated.

[bsolomon1124]

@aboSamoor I believe several of the open issues should be solved by uploading version 0.42 to PyPI, but the latest version there is 0.41. I do not have access to do that; would you be willing to do so or to give access via PyPI?

[Dashue]

Same here, any workaround? @bsolomon1124 @aboSamoor @witzatom @alexkillen

[msahyoun777]

Any updates to this bug? Any workarounds?

[canklot]

Just download the repository. Extract it. Open up cmd as admin. Navigate to the extracted folder. And run setup.py install
