If you're getting compilation errors, please delete your Bazel cache (~/.cache/bazel by default).

@arix It looks like Bazel is not able to find the Python interpreter, even though it should have been installed as a build dependency. I can't think of any reason you should be getting such an error unless there is some kind of misconfiguration.

You could try to a) edit the bazel build command in the PKGBUILD (line 38) and add --sandbox_debug at the end, as your error log suggests, and then see where that gets you; or b) install Python manually beforehand and see if the script will work that way (I doubt it, but you never know).

@mitori Well, considering I just built the package fine on my system in a clean chroot, I think I'm gonna have to go with "it's probably on you". The log output you posted suggests that Bazel can't find GCC, so either you've forgotten to install the base-devel group of packages (which is an implicit dependency for all AUR packages) or you've somehow messed up your build environment (e.g. your $PATH).

I have tried building this package with makepkg on 3 arch-based systems and it doesn't work. I wonder if it's on me because I'm doing something wrong or is the package outdated and doesn't work with the latest bazel?

If you're getting compilation errors, please delete your Bazel cache (~/.cache/bazel by default).

Building mozc(-ut) with distcc/ccache installed results in various errors.

The problem is caused by distcc/ccache exporting their own versions of GCC and Clang, check with which gcc or which clang.

The temporary fix is to disable the corresponding options in /etc/makepkg.conf, or just setting the CC environment variable to the standalone version of GCC or Clang:

export CC=/usr/bin/gcc or export CC=/usr/bin/clang

Cool, that really helped with the problem. I also had to delete the cache from pacman though. Then it worked.

Many thanks. :)

These errors are because the recently updated GCC 11.2 toolchain has some internal changes that make cached files from previous builds with older GCC versions no longer valid. Just delete your Bazel cache folder and it should work.
