Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Install current version of python
Download GimelStudio source

python3 build.py

Expected behavior
checks for version of python >= 3.9

Observed behaviour
checks for ONLY python version 3.9.x

Desktop (please complete the following information):
Linux
Python 3.10.12

Editing the build file and just replacing "3.9" with "3.10" seems to work (pending it finishing), maybe a slightly better way of checking for compatible python versions than hard-coding the version number is in order.

commented

Hi, thanks for opening an issue. I believe the reason for hard-coding 3.9 was because at the time, a few of our dependencies had not yet released packages for Python 3.10. So, yes that could probably be adjusted now.

BTW it didn't end up working, I had to manually add brew to the $PATH, then the openimageio install failed. If I open python I can import OpenImageIO, but the build script fails when it checks for the OpenImageIO path.

commented

For anyone stumbling upon this issue trying to use the build script: its probably best not to use the build file method anymore since its outdated and doesn't work many many distros.

Instead:

  1. Grab the wxpython wheel for your distro from here https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ and install it either by downloading the wheel file, etc. or by installing it from the url.
  2. Then pip install -r requirements.txt to install the rest of the dependencies.
  3. cd src
  4. python3 main.py

Installing OpenImageIO isn't 100% necessary anymore, depending on what version of the source you are trying to build.
