Python error on Linux: IndexError: string index out of range

Hello everyone!

I've just compiled Maszyna (eu07_2022-04-02) on GNU/Linux, but it crashes on start and gives the following output:

Kod: [Zaznacz]

Anyone can help, what can I do about it?

Side note: development branch is currently at https://github.com/Milek7/maszyna/tree/sim. Main repository is not always kept up to date, sorry about that. I updated it now.

Back to topic: I'm not sure, I didn't seen this error before. Did you setup python directories using virtualenv?

The latest version also does the same :(

Mac/arm64 here, Milek's branch builds fine, I'm not getting your error.
What I've done to get python working is that I used pyenv to install 2.7, then I installed Pillow using:

Kod: [Zaznacz]

pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/zlib/1.2.13/lib" --global-option="-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/zlib/1.2.13/include"  Pillow==5.0.0(On Linux you won't need global options, just be sure to have proper headers installed)
Then I copied whole ~/.pyenv/versions/2.7.18 to Maszyna's folder and called it macpython64.

I seem to have a pretty much the same error (the only difference being the line numbers in the console output) when trying to use the Linux binary on Debian 11.
I used symlinks to files and directories on an NTFS partition to make the files accessible on both Linux and Windows and also not to unnecessarily double the disk space used by Maszyna.

I have installed the following packages beforehand:

Kod: [Zaznacz]

freeglut3 libpython2.7 libpng16-16 libopenal1 libsndfile1 libluajit-5.1-2 libserialport0 virtualenv
As Python 2 has been made obsolete, virtualenv creates Python 3 venvs, so to create a Python 2.7 venv I typed:

Kod: [Zaznacz]

$ virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.7 linuxpython64which gave me the following output:

Kod: [Zaznacz]

created virtual environment CPython2.7.18.final.0-64 in 280ms
  creator CPython2Posix(dest=***/M2207/linuxpython64, clear=False, no_vcs_ignore=False, global=False)
  seeder FromAppData(download=False, pip=bundle, setuptools=bundle, wheel=bundle, via=copy, app_data_dir=/home/***/.local/share/virtualenv)
    added seed packages: pip==20.3.4, pkg_resources==0.0.0, setuptools==44.1.1, wheel==0.34.2
  activators BashActivator,CShellActivator,FishActivator,PowerShellActivator,PythonActivator
I then cd'd into the linuxpython64 directory, and ran:

Kod: [Zaznacz]

$ source bin/activate
$ pip install pillowwhich gave me the following output:

Kod: [Zaznacz]

DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.

I then left the venv:

$ deactivatecd'd .. and tried to run the binary from Azure:

Kod: [Zaznacz]

./eu07_2023-08-08which crashed with log.txt ending at OpenAL stage, and the dreaded lines following it in the console only:
