Windows install Wiki updated for a simpler option.

John E. Malmberg All Messages By This Member #2580 Hello all, I have updated to provide an option that does not require setting up a Python Virtual Environment. This option also allows you to set up a shortcut to launch D-Rats. It also turns out that while D-Rats running on a Linux under the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), it is reported to not have access to the USB serial ports, it will only operate with network devices. There is an experimental add on to the WSL-2 that allows it to access serial ports. I have not tried any of this, and do not plan to. If someone wants to experiment with that and provide a wiki article of the results good or bad, it would be appreciated. Another option to MSYS2 is Cygwin. It should be able to provide the same environment as MSYS2. Again, if someone wants to experiment with that and give instructions, it would be appreciated. 73, -John wb8tyw
Maurizio Andreotti IZ2LXI All Messages By This Member #2581 Thanks John As i happen to have a recently reformatted PC with Windows 10, I took the chance to install the new d-Rats from scratch so I am here to share my experience From the procedure indicated here: I followed the various steps of "option 1": - install of a fresh msys2 from: Download and executed the installer: msys2-x86_64-20230127.exe Download of the script with wget Opened shell and executed ./msys2_packages.sh Which after a bit of time doing its stuff brought to the closure of the terminal So I reopened the terminal from Win10 menu: "MSYS2 MSYS" And relaunched: ./msys2_packages.sh This time it completed letting the terminal open and no apparent errors and Then I proceed with: pacman -Syu --noconfirm git git clone cd D-Rats ./d-rats.py At this point I got a stop with: /usr/bin/env: ‘python3’: No such file or directory after some trial and errors (and reading the instructions at your link to the end) I understood this is because D-Rats needs to be launched not by the " MSYS2 MSYS" which I had opened before, but by "MSYS2 Mingw 64-bit" (you have to look for it in the Win10 menu as in my case wasn’t appearing in the proposed list) This time I was able to launch D-Rats: - cd D-Rats - ./d-rats.py And then I did the usual config ... It took to me about 30 min, mostly for downloads, so I hope this helps having more testers on the new py3 version!

I paused it and got a complete installation this morning. D-Rats 3.10.10 is up and running. However, it isn't on the internet since I can't ping ratflectors defined in Preferences Radio and the maps don't show. It is possible that you have firewall rules on the Microsoft Windows system that is blocking traffic. Look for that first. The defaults are mostly the same as for python2 based d-rats, and none of the ratflector entries work any more. There is already ticket to replace them with an improved system. The same may be true for the MAP URLs. Maurizio and I have been using the thunderforest service and URLs, but that requires signing up with an account for access. I think I still need to install some items. Below is the debug file output. Editing this down a bit: File "C:/msys64\home\don hinsman\D-Rats/d_rats/msgrouting.py", line 783, in _run self.__event.wait(self.__config.getint("settings", "msg_flush")) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '30.000000' This is an error in the d-rats configuration file. A number that is expected to be an integer has been entered in as a float. You may be able to fix that with the configuration settings for D-Rats, otherwise you may need to use a text editor to edit the file. 02/25/2023 09:25:40:INFO:QST:FeedParser not available For Option 1 of the Msys2 install, FeedParser is not available, it is only available for Option 2. This is just an informational message. 02/25/2023 09:25:40:ERROR:MainApp:_refresh_lang: Messages catalog file missing for en. Need to use 'msgfmt tool to generate. Forgot for the Option 1 install, you need to run D-Rats./build_pot.sh after doing a git clone or a git pull to generate the message catalogs. 02/25/2023 09:25:40:INFO:MainApp:Connecting to: localhost:5011 02/25/2023 09:25:42:INFO:MainApp:Failed to create socket.

I seen a previous report, however the file that caused it was deleted to fix the problem, so I have no way to reproduce it. There is an open ticket for it, the main cause is that while the file has strict syntax requirements, Nothing in D-Rats makes sure that human entered data is in compliance with those requirements before saving it to disk. Any extra punctuation in a map source description can cause this type of failure. The main difference in the python2 version of D-rats is that it tends to silently ignore these errors. 02/25/2023 09:28:38:INFO:Win32Platform:list_serial_ports Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/msys64\home\don hinsman\D-Rats/d_rats/dplatform.py", line 840, in list_serial_ports port = win32file.CreateFile( # type: ignore pywintypes.error: (121, 'CreateFile', 'The semaphore timeout period has expired.') This is because d-rats timed out in listing the serial ports. D-Rats tries to connect to any that are on the system before listing them. I did not encounter a 121 semaphore timeout in my testing. Looks like some more logging needs to be added to that module to identify the serial port that this occurred on. Then if it shows up again, we would may be able to tell if this is an issue that d-rats should alert on or ignore. Thanks for being so patient with my slow efforts, This is one of the things that this group is for. 73, -John
