I just learned (thanks to Manuel and Marc) to compile Makehuman properly. I was too lazy to write an installer, so I just zipped the whole build. I am using Visual C++ 6.0 for compiling and I used python 2.5 for it (don't worry about these details, all necessary libraries are in the .zip file).
I learned that some users have had problems installing makehuman, especially those who needed to install a Visual Studio Redistributable Package. I know Microsoft had made our life more difficult after MSVC 6.0 so I compiled it with MSVC 6.0. Most user's would not require any redistributable package and builds from MSVC 6.0 is known to work in all windows platform Win95 and above.
Here you can download a .zip MakeHuman using my build:
In case ifile.it does not work, I uploaded copies in:
Please comment if your installs were successfull or not or if there is any other technical matters. We are happy to have anyone to test this in their machine.
this is giving me an error(and does not start) in main.py...or something like that...I should have remembered, but I deleted the file after trying a few times.
ReplyDeleteI've got the same prob.
ReplyDeleteit tells me the following:
"'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):

sorry for the bad formating ;)

ReplyDeleteThis problem seems to be a common python problem (not version dependent, if you google search the problem appears even on python 2.6.4 some people get this problem). I was able to reproduce this problem by uninstalling my python. For me the temporary workaround is by installing python 2.5.4 .. But I am looking at a neater solution that doesn't require the user to install python

ReplyDeleteCould you guys tell me if you have python installed in your machines and what versions you have installed?
ReplyDeleteFixed the problem! :) .. please try redownload from any of the many links i provided now :)
ReplyDeleteI will check later, but I have python installed as well. 2.5-3.1(including 2.6).
ReplyDeleteJust a comment here, we (at least I) packed makehuman in such a way so that no extra installation of python or whatsoever is required. In this compile you will not even need a visual studio redistributable package. So if when using makehuman you get a complaint about something not available in your system then its something that you should inform us/me.
