Looks like ocaml and ocaml-findlib are a requirement for (at least) building, and lzo2 is necessary for it to run.

gcc 4.6 issue fixed; splitted in xen and xen-docs, to avoid the huge texlive-core dependency if doc is unneded a little cleanup in $pkgdir

hi diver92. I also encountered this promblem before, may be your gcc version is too high (my is 4.6.0), so it opened the "-Werror=unused-but-set-variable" options by default. You may disable this option in gcc or downgrading gcc to a lower version. In current archlinux core package is 4.5.*. It's no problem. I guess you open the "[testing]" section in pacman.conf, comment it, and then pacman -Sy at first. If you encouter "as" error, do like above to the "binutils" package.

Xen 4.1 has been released ! http://www.xen.org/products/xen_source.html

I think you should use options=(!strip) in the PKGBUILD. Do these people that don't have this problem have strip in makepkg.conf disabled?

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-02-07 20:14 (UTC)

Please add a backup line to the PKGBUILD so that xend-config and other files won't be replaced by the package's contents. Thanks.

I have most of multilib installed. What exactly do I need? (At the time of the comment before I had gcc instead of gcc-multilib, I don't know why it keeps being replaced...) Now: /usr/bin/strip: Unable to recognise the format of the input file `./usr/share/xen/qemu/openbios-sparc32'

You also have to make arch multilib: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch64_FAQ#Multilib_Repository_-_Multilib_Project if you are on x86_64
