building pc-ble-driver-py on a raspberry pi

[quinnabrvau]

Hi,

I've compiled the pc-ble-driver-py library on a raspberry pi but it doesn't come with a "make install" command. Could someone help me get the right file structure so that nrfutil could use this?

Thanks,

Quinn

Hi,

Instead of using make, you should use python setup. You should run "python setup.py install" from pc-ble-driver-py\python-folder. Alternatively, you can run "python setup.py sdist" and then "pip install dist/*.tar.gz".

so this does install pc-ble-driver-py but when I try and run with it I get

RuntimeError: Failed to locate the pc_ble_driver shared library: /home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pc_ble_driver_py/lib/linux/x86_32/libpc_ble_driver_shared_sd_api_v3.so.

it looks like the pc-ble-driver download only has versions 2 and 5, I assume I want to tell it to use 5 but I'm not sure how to do that.

Thank you
