Been getting it for a while. Anyone else with a similar problem?

Thanks, I didn't even notice this error.

Do you know of any aur packages that need this? You can read more about what it is here: https://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter.

If no, then I will remove tk from make/opt deps.
If yes, then this should be fixable with just adding -Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types to CFLAGS.

this is ok?

EDIT: Retried two days latter: it worked

Anyone else got this failure?:

(I didn't have a server started during the build)

Thanks for the report, I was able to reproduce. For the record, it passes build(), there is failure with test_ossaudiodev. I will see if this can be fixed easily, otherwise I will just disable this check. Please post build/error log next time.

Doesn't build with ossp installed and osspd.service running. I use pipewire.

What does it mean "necessary"?

I am sure that the Python Foundation did not test this specific Python release with the current tools available in Arch Linux repos.

Yes, this can be avoided, it is entirely up to the user to skip or not to skip check(). Please familiarize yourself with makepkg and do not repeat what has already been said countless times in these comments. Thanks!
