Arch Linux User Repository

It builds fine for me with libxml2 package, only some tests are problematic. I tested libxml2-2.9 and some tests are also failing. Unfortunately these are upstream problems, not much that I can do. If you are having build issues, I would suggest to build in a clean chroot and see if you are still having the issue. You can then investigate what is causing it in your environment.

@is1 thanx for the suggestion. Tried it but did not work unfortunately

To fix the build error, install libxml2-2.9 and put env XML2_CONFIG=xml2-config-2.9 before both invocations of python2 setup.py in the PKGBUILD file, or find some other way to make setup.py use the old libxml2 version.

I don't know what are they doing but version 4.9.3 got unreleased. I'll wait a bit to see if they re-release it again or else revert back to 4.9.2.

Some test is failing, you can disable testing and install regardless. Looks like it's already reported a while ago but not fixed upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxml/+bug/2016939

Can't build:

Any help?

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. ;)
