Hi JBB, so for pypy you had to download 2.5 GB of code and it took you more than 1 hour to compile it on a recent i7 machine!? Are you still complaining about the qooxdoo generator speed, then?
Just kidding ;-). Give it another try with using the "verbose" option, i.e. call "pypy generate.py -v build". That should give you a more detailed error message. Would be great you kept trying with the help of the pypy people. Since the hello world now seems to work fine with pypy (which to my knowledge previously and without the very recent fixes to pypy never worked), maybe the problems with your project are also due to the qooxdoo default encoding UTF-8 (rather than ascii), particularly if you have accented chars for French translations in your files. Just a guess... Please note that Thomas has been on vacation for the last two weeks and is to return not before Monday.
