@fartreason, can corroborate @stef204's report; getting the same error message with makepkg -sri

@fartreason
does not build:

libguestfs-git/PKGBUILD: line 118: ./autogen.sh: No such file or directory

If any dependecy is missing, unadorned makepkg would err out right away, while wrappers like yay would install it. So probably the issue is something else.

@PapuaXXL the isolated error message is not so much of help, but if you could share the full output of makepkg -C, I can take a look.

@PapuaXXL

At least one line in shows the error when the compiler accesses a 'golang' subdir. May be you're missing golang dependencies?

Anyways, I don't know if you read all the previous conversations in this thread, but it's recommended to build this from the tarball file found at libguestfs's page, you'll have waaaay less issues compiling that.

The deprecation applies to the RPC implementation in glibc (in favor of libtirpc). rpcgen is and shall be a necessary tool for compiling code using RPC.

When I referred to the Arch package, I did not mean to use it directly, but to build it from the PKGBUILD, just like you do with AUR. Is AUR preferred on Manjaro over building Arch packages?

Hi. rpcgen is apparently obsolete for some time now, see: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=236552 and https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/407

Anyways, as you noticed I'm on Manjaro. Strangely, libguestfs is not on our repos, but I just checked after you mentined "Most people on Arch are better off with the official binary package." and indeed there's an official arch package.

I double checked to see if I was not messing up, but yeah, 'pacman -Ss libguestfs' returns nothing here, and it also doesn't show up in pamac's GUI. So yeah, Manjaro is missing that package and in the future manjaro users will probably turn to the AUR for this package, but had I known beforehand, I'd have grabbed arch's package.

Anyways, thanks.

What do you mean by "rpcgen is deprecated"? I checked the thread on libguestfs ML but did not see this claim there.

Most people on Arch are better off with the official binary package. You (on Manjaro, AFAICS) can try that PKGBUILD as well.

However, there are things that justify an alternative package -- for example, official Arch package does not support Ruby (for the time being), this one does. And once an alternative package is opted for -- a lazy dude like me will go for git so that it doesn't require upgpkg'ing ;)

Hi, I just got a response from Richard W.M. Jones, from Red Hat, after posting the issue in the mailing list. Here's his response:

Why is the package being built from git? The tarballs contain all the files needed, and rpcgen isn't needed when building from the tarball.

Rich.

In other words, people shouldn't build from git, especially because rpcgen is deprecated.

I emailed him back, said thanks and told him they need to improve their documentation, since neither github nor their instruction pages cite nothing about tarballs or the dependencies needed to build from git.

Anyways, thanks.

Thanks for your investigation, added those deps.
