I can confirm the observation of asura for a fresh arch install.

installing spice-glib did work for me as well

For anyone having trouble to build this package and getting spice dependency errors

ERROR: User requested feature spice
configure was not able to find it.
Install spice-server(>=0.12.0) and spice-protocol(>=0.12.3) devel

Installing community/spice-glib and community/spice-gtk3 solved the issue for me.

Hi das_j, just started building for a naked arch... seems autoconf and patch are missing as dependencies

Hi das_j, looks like there is a patch for the build failure:

JohnTh, can you please provide a link for the 4.9-rc8 version that have fixes for the warnings? I've been using this: https://downloads.xenproject.org/release/xen/4.9.0-rc8/ and I'm still getting all the warnings with gcc7.

Nevermind, all the errors I was having were for other packages inside of xen (ie qemu, ipxe)

JohnTh commented on 2017-06-07 08:40

The upgrade to gcc7 brings a number of new warnings that show up in building xen-4.8.1

My xen PKGBUILD has diverged a bit from this one, but should build xen 4.8.1 (without stubdom!)
https://gitlab.com/johnth/aur-xen/tree/master

Either fix the files, or change the C(PP)FLAGS; remove Werror, or use -Wno-error= for each error warning.
This needs to be done for each component with error warnings (xen, ipxe, ovmf, vtpm).
Most of the warnings have fixes upstream, and are included in xen-4.9.0-rc8.

I am unable to build stubdom with the current Arch packages, getting linking errors:

I think it's an issue with gcc7. I found this patch http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/5f85cbb which gets around the error reported by ArthurBorsboom but then I get a similar error shortly after:

I got a compile error with the latest PKGBUILD (4.8.0-7):

For anyone else using Manjaro (or probably me in the future) the kernels are named differently in Manjaro. I had to apply this patch in order to get the grub menu entried to be generated correctly:
