Website - Compiling openHASP

Hello,

This problem already came up in the discussion about the red/blue error with the Guition JC8048W550, and I'm still stuck. Is it possible to keep the openHASP website updated, or is support for openHASP only available to programmers?

I've been trying to compile openHASP for my Guition JC8048W550 for several days now, as I occasionally have problems with insufficient LVGL. I can find a possible solution here Memory handling, but I have to compile my openHASP firmware myself. I've created a clean Debian VM under Proxmox several times and tried to build the firmware exactly according to the instructions Compiling locally. In my attempts, I tried both versions without a Docker container and with the Docker container offered by VS Code, which isn't mentioned at all in the documentation. Following these instructions, it's completely IMPOSSIBLE and UNACCEPTABLE to create your own firmware.

Every attempt fails with the error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'". Reports from the internet with similar error messages, suggesting running pip install setuptools in the terminal in VS Code, don't work.

detlef@debian-gui-dev:~/openHASP$ sudo pip install setuptools

[sudo] Password for detlef:
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed

╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install

python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to install.
...

The suggested sudo apt install python3-setuptools can be installed without errors, but it has no effect on VS Code, as the VS Code error message remains unchanged.

It would be a shame if, with openHASP, one could only use the default or be dependent on the "infinite grace" of the few developers.

Best regards,
Detlef Paschke
