CrazyFlie PC client in VM 0.5 does not launch after update

[emlmarck]

Hello,

The PC-client version that comes with the VM works fine, however after I run the "Update All Repos" shortcut on the VM desktop the PC-client no longer opens. I am running the Bitcraze_VM_0.5 on my Macbook pro i7 in Parallels.

After trying to launch the cfClient from eclipse (see attached image) I noticed it was throwing an error:

CRITICAL: cfclient.cfclient:No pysdl2 installation found, exiting!

I tried to install pysdl2 using

sudo pip install pysdl2

on the command line, but the error persists.

I also tried building sdl2-2.03 and pysdl2 from source, but it still does not work.

I have reverted to the older cfclient in order to run my CF but I would like to be able update.

Thanks in advance.

here is the code from the git pull command:

The following made it work for me on Ubuntu 14.04:

Code: Select all

sudo pip install pysdl2

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev

I don't use the VM, but it would be nice if you could try the second command and see if it works out!

Hi I am trying to get all the tools that are preinstalled on the Bitcraze VM but I am using Parallels. I don't know if I can get all this hacks on Parallels without instaling Bitcraze VM. I already installed eclipse and there is no make file option and flesh with debugger option as well.
Thanks !
