Unable to Install

[hwright-ucsb]

I am following the procedure on "A Programmer’s Guide to Ethereum and Serpent" (https://mc2-umd.github.io/ethereumlab/docs/serpent_tutorial.pdf) and when I get to installing Serpent I get the error:

$ python setup.py install --user
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 8, in
flag for flag in opt.split() if flag != '-Wstrict-prototypes'
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

Any ideas? I am on Windows 10.

Try using pip

pip install ethereum-serpent
pip install ethereum

Or if that fails try checking out the develop repo and doing:
make && sudo make install

Oh, I've never been able to get serpent to install on Windows, but @chfast submitted pull request #91 that claims to fix that. I haven't tried it yet. Maybe you should try cloning his fork, and building with that?

Nobody ever answered my PR :)

[ChrisCalderon]

That's because the maintainers are busy with other stuff and haven't added any of the active community members to the repo. I think we should fork and focus improvements there.

Did anyone by now manage to install serpent on Windows? Any hints would be very appreciated.

I installed it on windows 10 in the ubuntu environment that windows has built in a while back, worked fine Get Outlook for iOS On Tue, Jul 4, 2017 at 3:04 AM -0700, "Martin Maurer" <notifications@github.com> wrote: Did anyone by now manage to install serpent on Windows?

@empea-careercriminal if you try the augur fork there are wheels available for windows now; pip install ethereum-serpent-augur-temp and let me know if it works for you; they're generated on appveyor

I switched to an Ubuntu in the meantime which worked very well. Still, the augur one installed without any hassle on my Windows machine. Nice and thank you!
