Arch Linux User Repository

New to Arch so please bear with me... whenever I try to build this it gets to this step and then seems to just get stuck there indefinitely. I've let it sit on this for up to an hour:

gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection -DNDEBUG -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection -fPIC -DCYTHON_CLINE_IN_TRACEBACK=0 -Isrc/lxml -Isrc/lxml/includes -I/usr/include/libxml2 -Isrc -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c src/lxml/etree.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/src/lxml/etree.o -w

Here's the full output leading up to that: https://pastebin.com/ezKPKiJy

Any suggestions?

This solves the issue. All tests are in fact successfully completed. Thank you.

I've removed python2-html5lib from checkdepends as it appears that it's not required.

Hi. Could you please disable the check for now? Some required sub-dependencies like python2-six and python2-packaging got dropped recently.

Edit: Please ignore my request above. I just pushed the dropped python2-six package. A remaining issue is the missing python2-packaging package, which is required by some sub-dependencies for their checks. But this is certainly not your issue. ;)

Just for information:
I observe that after your recent two changes the installation size got 1.05 MiB smaller.
Anything important missing now because you don't seem to use the Makefile anymore for building?, or just some "junk" not included?

Regards!

Ok so it's actually required. Man this package is giving me headaches. His makefile let you presume it's not required.

I think cython2 is needed in makedepends. Errors from makechrootpkg:

RuntimeError: ERROR: Trying to build without Cython, but pre-generated 'src/lxml/etree.c' is not available (pass --without-cython to ignore this error).

Works when cython2 is added back.

python2 setup.py build isn't enough, it needs build_ext -i option passed or tests will fail with ImportError: cannot import name etree. I've pushed an updated pkgbuild which should hopefully fix the issue by disabling coverage and cython dependency.

Or he can just omit using make altogether, since it is redundant here, and return to the previous way (was used in this PKGBUILD until recently):

python2 setup.py build

I played around with the options to test.py, and I found out that the --coverage option which is passed to the test script in the Makefile ~~causes~~triggers the segmentation fault for me. If I leave it out, I don't get the segmentation fault.

You could use this patch to the Makefile as a workaround to just disable --coverage completely:
