[ome-users] Building openmicroscopy from source

[John Webber (NBI)]

Hi Roger,

Thanks for the guidance below.

I am, however, still experiencing the same issue!  I have amended all of my Paths, environment variables and the build.bat to now use Ice version 3.4, instead of ice version 3.5, but I am still seeing the same error:  "ome#bio-formats;5.0.1-DEV-ice34: not found".  

I have obtained Openmicroscopy by doing a "git clone" for branh dev_5_0 from https://github.com/openmicroscopy/git.

Once I had obtained openmicroscopy, I used "git submodule update --init" to obtain bioformats.

Am I getting Openmicroscopy an bioformats incorrectly?

Thanks
john

Dear John,

There's a slight wrinkle here.  The ZeroC Ice packages for Ice 3.5.x use Python 3.3 rather than Python 2.6 or 2.7.  The Ice 3.4.x packages use Python 2.6.  Since all the OMERO python scripts are using python >= 2.6 (but not 3) this means that you can't currently use Ice 3.5 on Windows.

You can use Python 2.6/2.7 on Windows if you build Ice yourself from source, then you can choose the Python version you want for IcePy to link against.  It's just the "official" ZeroC installer that forces you to use Python 3, so it's technically possible to use Ice 3.5 on Windows with OMERO, just hard in practice since most people prefer not to rebuild Ice.


Kind regards,
Roger
