As of now (2024-22-05) Xen with stubdom doesn't build because of a problem in the imported code. Been this way for about two weeks. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Also, there is a lot of work happening on Xen in my development repo, thanks to @Serus. Check it out at: https://github.com/refutationalist/saur

I'd be fine with that.

So what do you guys think about using the system's OVMF and SeaBios? Apart from faster build times because we don't need to build them ourselfs, we also prevent errors like the one of @maldo. Once this is decided, I will push out a new PKGBUILD with the --disable-werror patch and possibly the new SeaBIOS/OVMF.

@badboy @JohnTh: you can use the following patch for the makedev compile error: --- a/tools/blktap2/control/tap-ctl-allocate.c 2016-04-25 22:33:15.444681888 -0 700 +++ b/tools/blktap2/control/tap-ctl-allocate.c 2016-04-25 22:30:33.288046037 -0 700 @@ -36,6 +36,7 @@ #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> +#include <sys/sysmacros.h> #include <linux/major.h> #include "tap-ctl.h" --- a/tools/libxl/libxl_osdeps.h 2016-04-25 22:55:04.326527630 -0700 +++ b/tools/libxl/libxl_osdeps.h 2016-04-25 22:53:36.315440845 -0700 @@ -43,6 +43,7 @@ #define SYSFS_PCIBACK_DRIVER "/sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback" #define NETBACK_NIC_NAME "vif%u.%d" #include <pty.h> +#include <sys/sysmacros.h> #include <uuid/uuid.h> #elif defined(__sun__) #include <stropts.h>

You could avoid this kind of warning, now and later, with two modifications in PKGBUILD. When calling ./configure, add "--disable-werror" to --with-extra-qemuu-configure-args. And add APPEND_CFLAGS=-Wno-error to make. So build() would look like this: ./configure \ PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 \ --prefix=/usr \ --sbindir=/usr/bin \ --with-sysconfig-leaf-dir=conf.d \ --with-initddir=/etc/init.d \ --enable-systemd \ --enable-ovmf \ "${_config_stubdom:---disable-stubdom}" \ --with-extra-qemuu-configure-args="--disable-bluez --disable-gtk --enable-spice --enable-usb-redir --disable-werror" make LANG=C PYTHON=python2 APPEND_CFLAGS=-Wno-error dist

@badboy: Fixed the architecture problem, split packages are weird. @badboy @JohnTh: I can not reproduce the problem here. I'm running a fully updated Arch. Do you have any changed values in /etc/makepkg.conf?

JohnTh commented on 2017-03-13 04:38 (UTC)

@badboy I'm seeing that too after updating Arch. To resolve, Need to add this include to relevant Xen source files, where minor(), major(), or makedev() are used. #include <sys/sysmacros.h> I found these with grep -R ' \(major\|minor\|makedev\)('. Not sure if they are the correct locations, or implementation: tools/blktap2/control/tap-ctl-allocate.c tools/libxl/libxl_internal.h tools/qemu-xen/include/qemu/osdep.h My patch here https://gitlab.com/johnth/aur-xen/raw/master/patch-include_sys_sysmacros.h.patch Details: glibc 2.25 https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.25 "The inclusion of sys/sysmacros.h by sys/types.h is deprecated. Using the macros major, minor, or makedev without having directly included sys/sysmacros.h will trigger compiler warnings."

badboy commented on 2017-03-12 17:52 (UTC)

I get another error, but that seems like it needs to go upstream: $ makepkg -As --skippgpcheck [...] tap-ctl-allocate.c: In function 'tap_ctl_make_device': tap-ctl-allocate.c:109:13: error: In the GNU C Library, "makedev" is defined by <sys/sysmacros.h>.

For some reason I get an error on my 64bit machine: ==> ERROR: xen is not available for the 'x86_64' architecture.

@das_j, @JohnTh Thank you for answers :)
