Building Universal Peachy Printer Software

If you run this utility, it will show you what version of OpenGL your video card supports.

OpenGL 2.1 is on almost every system built after 2010. Are your video drivers current? Because no one with a reasonably new machine, even with intel on board graphics, should be having openGL problems. Very strange.

GPU_caps_viewer is saying my laptop has openGL 3.1. However upon trying to launch Peachy after installing, it puts up an error window saying I have only openGL 1.1 and then exits. Doh!!!!!!

Tried the install on my son's MAC and it worked straight away. But it looks as though the Linux and Windows installs have a problem (on my system, it might work for others).

I would be interested to hear how others fared with the install.

How are you running it and on what?????

On Linux, you can try this command line : glxinfo | grep OpenGL to be sure what version is installed.
If problem, you can install mesa-utils.

had to install mesa-utils first, but then glxinfo returned version string of 3.1...... so no idea why the install doesn't work for me!!!!!

I'll do some more digging !!! I can run Peachy on my son's MAC as an interim measure, but not long term as it is a bit like cutting his right arm off LOL.

Have you tried to run python /src/test.py ?

Intel i5 2500 3.3Ghz
8GB g-skill memory
Radeon 6750 HD

Fresh install of Windows 10 might have made all the difference. Not sure. I wish I was having the same issue so I could try to work on it with you, but everything is running perfectly. Ran the installer and that was it.

My laptop is a similar spec. Core i5 Dell Inspiron, running windows 10. There is something odd about the openGL check in the Peachy software as it sees my graphic capability as openGL 1.1 when it is actually 3.1 !!!

I'll try installing again.

Just uninstalled and re-installed ..... no joy

@mike, this looks like a bug with the kivy framework.
see https://github.com/kivy/kivy/issues/3576

it looks like v1.9.1 introduced this bug, if peachy compiles the windows version with 1.9.0, it should work properly.

good eye mike_biddle and 3dspider !

in the latest build_linux.sh found here https://github.com/PeachyPrinter/pea...build_linux.sh
on line 80 I see this:
pip install -I -U git+https://github.com/kivy/kivy.git@master

and here: https://github.com/kivy/kivy/releases
you can see that the 1.9.1 relice has been pushed to kivys master branch
so it looks like were are using the latest kivy v1.9.1

you could try changing line 80 to get the 1.9.0 branch instead of the 1.9.1 branch containing the bug :S
of course that could also break other things, so hopfully it wont take long for the good people at kivy to fix this
Better yet someone could help fix the kivy bug.
