Installation from main branch failed

I tried installing noxDB for the first time but hit a problem when running the gmake command.

Here's the full terminal output:

It complains about the e2a .. a2e ascii / ebcdic .. but they are there and I just ran that a few days ago on a vanilla 7.4 Can you provide the joblog? søn. 21. jun. 2026 kl. 17.26 skrev Richard Moulton ***@***.***

Hi @NielsLiisberg , I'm not sure what joblog you mean, I attached the PASE output. I'm running this on a 7.5 TR7 machine. I am using Python 3.13.2.

[NielsLiisberg]

Ok - for now : switch to master branch and see I if builds… man. 22. jun. 2026 kl. 09.19 skrev Richard Moulton ***@***.***

Yes, the master branch does build successfully - I checked that yesterday.

[NielsLiisberg]

The main branch ( with UTF8 support) is using python on the ibm i to build.. I think that is what you are missing. man. 22. jun. 2026 kl. 11.33 skrev Richard Moulton ***@***.***

I worked out the problem. The compile.py script is Python 2 only, it won't run under Python 3.

I have Python 3.13.2 set as my default though I do also have Python 2.7.18 installed.

To get myself going I ran the following command from within the /prj/noxDB directory:

sed -i '1s|.*|#!/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python2|' compile.py

This worked so I'm up and running with the main (UTF-8) branch.

I guess this is a bug though!

[NielsLiisberg]

I am working on moving the python dependency out of this version. For the reasons you describe ons. 24. jun. 2026 kl. 21.02 skrev Richard Moulton ***@***.***
