Got error when make in sip directory

[p1680]

Hi Sir,

When I run'make' in sip directory, I got the error message as below.

g++ -c -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fPIC -Wall -W -DNDEBUG -I. -I/usr/include/python2.7 -o sippciecmodule.o sippciecmodule.cpp

./sippciecmodule.cpp:70:1: error: braces around scalar initializer for type `_sipCharInstanceDef*'
};

The moment I read this I thought that there might be a python version issue. You might need to regenerate the sip files. Here are instructions:

You will need to install 'python-sip-dev' here's how to do it in Ubuntu:

sudo apt install python-sip-dev

Generate the makefile

cd sip/
make

You should be able to run the 'make install' after this.

Let me know how it turns out.

Within the 'sip' directory would you run the script './configure.py' This should regenerate all the .h and .cpp files. Let me know if that doesn't work.

Next run 'make' and then 'make install'

Would you also let me know what OS version you are running by running the command 'uname -a'

Also, ./configure.py is not working. it's show like : /usr/bin/sip -c . -I . -b pypcie.sbf python-pcie.sip
