Update dependencies

[glixx]

Needs to update dependensies with current state.

Did you get it to run? I am sorry I mostly abandoned the project so did the other commiters.

I tried to reboot it with my canta-ng project trying to use the blender engine, but the source is hard to refactor / maintain.

But if you send good patches I might consider them, or you can fork it and become the new major maintainer of it.

canta-ng is not interesting for packaging. blender is big dependency, wrong way. canta is the best, but dependencies are not actual. For example, gstreamer, python have new versions. Just update code.

[spiderbit]

Well for what project you want to package it?

I think blender is not really a dependency but you export a binary from it basically. So therefor a blender version would work :D

[glixx]

Canta was packaged for Mageia Linux: https://pkgs.org/download//usr/bin/canta blenter is requires, if you need canta-ng, then you need to install blender. So total size for installation is to big.

so there is a python 2.7 version of soya3d.

I am not sure how I am supposed to help you, can't you send me a PR? there is even a fork with a small patch I did not pull back.

I went not only away from canta to canta-ng I even left the python world for the most part since then. Can't you just run it? Did they chance the api?

I guess gstreamer api changed since then? So you have done a python project, can't you fix it? At this point it would be probably as easy for you then me. I didn't touch this code since nearly 10 years.

Heck partially I switched away from python because of this project :D

[glixx]

yes, needs to update for gstreamer first. I don't know python.

[spiderbit]

I thought I saw a python project in your profile that is not a fork of somebody else. But I have here not a good linux setup to test it.

Could you give me the first message you get that fails? And maybe I can help you fix this. The biggest problem seems to me the gst situation, but I think there is not that much that has chanced in the api at least at a quick look:

canta/canta/event/input_gstreamer.py http://brettviren.github.io/pygst-tutorial-org/pygst-tutorial.html

You would need to add that to the top as import statements.

gi.require_version('Gst', '1.0') from gi.repository import Gst, GObject, Gtk

Instead of the 0.10 stuff.

Python-soya should just work if they didn't chance their api. Well install the requirenments and run it and say to me then what error appears.

change the line in run_canta from/to: #! /usr/bin/python -O #! /usr/bin/python2 -O So that it doesn't use python3 else you need to fix more stuff.

The GST/GSTREAMER stuff should be the biggest problem, other than that it should probably just run.

• Soya3D * Quit...

[spiderbit]

You should use a newer version of soya3d it looks like the api of soya 0.14 is not in line with the PIL library on the system.
