+
+# Before building an Artemis executable binary (exe) on any Raspberry Pi computers, we need to install some system software and Artemis' pip requirements.  Raspberry Pi also comes with "System Python" pre-installed, which will interfere with our building of a compact Artemis exe.  This script will assist with installing system software, a clean virtual Python environment (PyEnv virtualenv), and Artemis requirements (Python pip packages), to build Artemis from.  This way, Artemis will be built from a fresh virtual Python 3.7.0 installation apart from Raspbian's System Python installation.
+
+# About 1.3 GB will be needed [size on disk: PyEnv 200 MB, 200 MB virtual build environment, 112 MB of temp files (PyQt5 downloads and build directory, and a 520 MB Artemis output folder after downloading the Artemis signal database].  The output folder will contain three tar.gz archives, two EXE files (Artemis 97-100 MB, depending on Buster or Stretch, and _ArtemisUpdater 49 MB), theme files, audio files, and a database file.  The 'artemis' folder or tar.gz files can be distributed to end-users and run on other Raspberry Pi's.  Any end-users receiving the EXE files will not need to install Artemis dependencies on their Raspberry Pi's to run the compiled EXE's.  The EXE files do not seem to become smaller after running "sudo trim" commands on them.
+
+# Though it is recommended to build Artemis on the oldest operating system version available to avoid 'GLIBC out of date errors' when our Artemis binary is run on newer OS's, we have found that Raspbian Stretch and Buster are sufficiently different that they require their own builds of Artemis to function without throwing error messages in the Linux terminal.  Stretch and Buster also have different installation procedures. This script will detect whether you are running Buster or Stretch and then automatically build a correct Artemis binary for your Raspbian distribution.
+
+# In case the PyQt5 pip module is not able to be installed on your version of Raspbian or does not work in the future, we have included the option to let the script build and install the old stable PyQt5 pip module.  Just set the User-defined variable PYQTVER below to 'old'.  NOTE! the "make" process for building a PyQt5 pip module from source can take over 14 hours on a Raspberry Pi 2B, over 12 hours on a Pi 0W, over 3.5 hours on a Pi 3B+, and about 2 hours on a Pi 4B-2GB.  Building PyQt5 from source is only recommended if you must do it.  If you can install a new (pre-built) PyQt5 module with pip and the wheel module, this script will take MUCH less time to finish (this is the default mode for this script).

+###################################### Install Artemis Requirements Into Our Pyenv ######################################
+### When building Artemis for the Raspberry Pi, we must install our Artemis requirements ourselves - without the aid of the 'requirements.txt' file in this Git (though other Linux distros might be able to still use it).  This is because the Raspbian pip distro doesn't include the recommended 5.12.2 version of PyQt5, as requested by 'requirements.txt'.  Therefore, if we try to install requirements using the recommended "python3.7 -m pip install -r cd ~/Artemis/requirements/requirements.txt" we will error when trying to download PyQt5 and auto-abort before we get to install ANY of the required pip modules.
+
+### Note that the commands below downloads the pip modules specified in requirements.txt (including building our own PyQt5 5.12.2 from source) and then installs them within our fresh virtual python 3.7.0 environment (thereby avoiding any interference with Raspbian's default System python installation).  If you try to install these modules using "sudo python3.7" or "sudo python", however, you will accidentally be installing them into System python (and not into our pristine pyenv virtualenv python 3.7.0 environment).

+
+##################################### Error Messages and Workarounds ##############################
+
+### NOTE!!! Artemis must be built by running "pyinstaller Artemis.spec" WHILE THE TERMINAL'S WORKING DIRECTORY IS INSIDE THE "/Artemis/spec_files/Linux" folder!  If you try to build the Artemis.spec while not in the working directory (for example, by being inside "~/Downloads/ArtemisTestBuild/" and running "PyInstaller ~/Downloads/Artemis/spec_files/Linux/Artemis.spec") then Artemis will build ok but then crash when you try to run the Artemis executable: "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/_MEIaHNect/download_db_window.ui'". Said another way, you MUST cd into the "Artemis/spec_files/Linux" directory BEFORE running the "pyinstaller Artemis.spec" command!
+
+### If you get: "[1449] Error loading Python lib '/tmp/_MEIATNM1X/libpython3.7m.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /tmp/_MEIATNM1X/libpython3.7m.so.1.0)" Try updating GLIBC with "sudo apt-get install libc6".  If this doesn't work, this error might be due to your running a pre-compiled Artemis binary that was built on a newer Linux OS than the one you are running.  If this is the case, then use this build script to build Artemis for your system.
+
+### If you get errors installing newer PyQt5 modules with pip or troubles compiling Artemis like: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources.py2_warn'", you might try upgrading pip, installing a different version of pip setuptools (newer or older), and then reinstalling pyinstaller.  That error may show up for setuptools newer than 44.0.0.  Therefore, try: "python3.7 -m pip install --upgrade 'setuptools==44.0.0'"
+
+### If you get the error "bash: PyInstaller: command not found" when trying to build Artemis, then run the commands below (or reload shell or just close and re-open the terminal).  After that, ensure pyenv is also reinitialized by activating your virtual env again.
+#eval "$(pyenv init -)"
+#eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"
+#pyenv activate YOUR_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT_HERE
+
+### We need to install python inside of pyenv with '--enable-shared' or else we will get this when trying to build Artemis on Stretch "OSError: Python library not found: libpython3.7m.so, libpython3.7mu.so.1.0, libpython3.7.so.1.0, libpython3.7m.so.1.0"
+
+### If you get "libf77blas.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" during Artemis compile, make sure 'libatlas-base-dev' was installed with apt-get (this error is caused by NumPy).
+
+### NumPy 1.17.2 errors on Stretch if it is not installed with "--no-cache-dir --no-binary :all:".  "Original error was: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by /home/pi/.pyenv/versions/artemis3_py370_pyqt5122/lib/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/_multiarray_umath.cpython-37m-arm-linux-gnueabihf.so)"
+
+### If we installed our pip modules inside of System Python (ie we didn't run 'pyenv activate YOUR_VIRTUAL_ENV_NAME_HERE'), then we would end up with a final Artemis file that was 1.3GB and which would error when trying to copy itself from build/PKG-00.pkg into its final dist/Artemis EXE, with error message "raise SystemError("objcopy Failure: %s" % stderr)  SystemError: objcopy Failure:  objcopy: out of memory allocating 536870912 bytes after a total of 0 bytes".  However, since we're building a fresh Python environment to install ONLY our needed Artemis modules inside of, we will not get this error and we will build an Artemis EXE that is about 97.1 MB.
+
+### On Raspbian Stretch (not Buster), any Pyinstaller version >= 3.5 will cause PyQt5.sip (sip.so) to be incorrectly installed into the main directory within the Artemis exe (and not into the PyQt5 folder within the exe, where sip should be), so that Artemis will build without errors but will error when run ("ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5.sip'").  Therefore, PyInstaller 3.4 should be used on Raspbian Stretch (earlier PyInstaller versions don't install correctly on Stretch anyway).  This error might be fixable on Stretch with a custom-written PyInstaller hook for sip if you need to use a newer PyInstaller version on Raspbian Stretch, but I haven't tested this.  Raspbian Buster does not have this problem with PyInstaller and sip for some reason, so that any PyInstaller version should be fine.
+	
+### If we try to install PyQt5 (using pip or by building from source) without having Qt5 installed on our system, then we will get errors related to qmake: “Error: Use the --qmake argument to explicitly specify a working Qt qmake. qmake not compatible for building PyQt5”  Qt5 doesn't come pre-installed on Raspbian Buster for Raspberry Pi 0-2 (but does on newer Pi's running Raspbian Buster).  Install it with "sudo apt-get install qt5-default"
+
+### If you get build errors with Artemis on Raspbian Buster, you might consider a different PyInstaller version built from source - Either the newest development version ("python3.7 -m pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip"), or an older version ("python3.7 -m pip install --upgrade 'PyInstaller==3.5'").
+
+### If you type ./Artemis in the terminal and Artemis runs, but looks all grey when it runs and gives you a "Missing theme folder" dialog box error, then make sure that, when you are running the ./Artemis command, your terminal's working directory is the same directory that houses the Artemis executable file: For example, while terminal is in the "/opt/" directory, if you run "Artemis/./Artemis" then you'll get the theme folder error, but if you cd to the "/opt/Artemis/" directory and run "./Artemis", then this may fix the theme folder error.
+
+### Similar to the theme folder error, if you run Artemis from terminal while your working directory is outside the folder that houses the Artemis executable file, then downloading the database may create a "Data" folder outside of the folder where the Artemis executable is.  Just close Artemis, move the Data folder into the Artemis folder, run the Artemis exe again from a shortcut or from File Manager, or from terminal (but in the correct working directory) and everything should work.
+
+### If you get this error: "QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'", log out of your Pi then log back in.  This may be a problem with the EXE getting confused by pyenv if pyenv is still active when the EXE is first run.  Pyenv activates automatically by being inside the ~/Environments/artemis3_py370_pyqt5122/ directory.

+## Build script (Raspberry Pi)
+Thanks to [**Eric Wiessner (KI7POL)**](https://github.com/WheezyE "GitHub profile"), an automatic script to compile Artemis (and meet all the Artemis' build requirements) is available in the Linux folder `Linux/raspbian_build.sh`. The script will proceed as follows:
+
+- Detect which Raspbian operating system is being used (Buster or Stretch), installing PyEnv on the system (if PyEnv isn't already installed).
+- Installation of a Python v3.7.0 virtual environment inside of PyEnv (so that Artemis' pip modules do not conflict with Raspbian's System Python).
+- Installation of pip modules (Artemis requirements) within the previously built virtual Python 3.7.0 (modules are specific to Buster or Stretch).
+- Canonical Artemis building for Linux OS (using build.sh).
+
+**The complete instructions, a troubleshooting guide and many other usefull details are available in the script itself.**
+
+If the script is re-run, it will skip over parts it has already installed. Options are included to clean up after the script is run. In the worst case scenario, this script takes 14 hours on a Pi 0W, but much less time on multi-core Pi's.
