Running from source and win_fonts

davidfor · 10-01-2012, 11:50 PM

I updated my source this morning and tried to run it. I got the following:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\CalibreDev\calibre\src\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 266, in initialize
    self.initialize_db()
  File "D:\CalibreDev\calibre\src\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 247, in initialize_db
    self.initialize_db_stage2(db, None)
  File "D:\CalibreDev\calibre\src\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 223, in initialize_db_stage2
    self.start_gui(db)
  File "D:\CalibreDev\calibre\src\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 175, in start_gui
    main.initialize(self.library_path, db, self.listener, self.actions)
  File "D:\CalibreDev\calibre\src\calibre\gui2\ui.py", line 196, in initialize
    from calibre.utils.fonts import fontconfig
  File "D:\CalibreDev\calibre\src\calibre\utils\fonts\__init__.py", line 62, in <module>
    fontconfig = Fonts()
  File "D:\CalibreDev\calibre\src\calibre\utils\fonts\__init__.py", line 16, in __init__
    self.backend = load_winfonts()
  File "D:\CalibreDev\calibre\src\calibre\utils\fonts\win_fonts.py", line 104, in load_winfonts
    raise RuntimeError('Failed to load the winfonts module: %s'%err)
RuntimeError: Failed to load the winfonts module: No module named winfonts

It has been a couple of weeks since I tried this, but it was working then.

Looking at the code, I think it is looking for a DLL which hasn't been built. Has there been a change in the development setup, or is this something else?

You need a C module that isn't built with the source code. I'll post a build of calibre with the module in a bit, but you can temporarily workaround the issue by replacing the line

from calibre.constants import iswindows

with

iswindows = False

in the file

utils/fonts/__init__.py

I thought that was the case. The workaround worked.

Thanks.

Here's a build with the C module included: http://calibre-ebook.com/downloads/b...ibre-0.9.0.msi

That worked to. Thanks again for the quick response.
