Building asteroids with deploy-ng fails on Linux

Panda Features in Development
1

I am trying to build the asteroids demo on Ubuntu 17.10 with deploy-ng. I am using the latest version of panda3d from the deploy-ng branch, installed with pip. I ran the setup.py in the asteroids demo with:

python3 setup.py build_apps

Which gives the following output:

KeyError: "There is no item named 'panda3d_tools/deploy-stubw' in the archive"

When I try to run the executable, it fails with this output:

Fatal Python error: __main__ not frozen

This is confusing. The error messages suggest that it’s somehow using very out-of-date versions of the panda3d wheel, but then it does claim that it downloaded dev.1437+deployng.190, which should contain these files; I just successfully built with them, too.

Could it somehow be using another cached .whl file from somewhere? Could you try completely deleting the build directory? Perhaps you could additionally try deleting the ~/.cache/pip directory?

Removing the build directory fixed it.
