@Refutationalist See if the latest commit on my gitlab repository fixes this? It applies this patch: http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=patch;h=9714f6b87e19b32d3a6663a20df6610265c4bfe5 Discussed here: https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-09/msg02889.html cheers

@JohnTh Your recent commit to 4.7.1 and pv-grub doesn't seem to boot w/ pv-grub x86_64. I'm going use an earlier pv-grub, but this is a dev server so I can test packages, if that helps. Here's the failure: ============= Init TPM Front ================ Tpmfront:Error Unable to read device/vtpm/0/backend-id during tpmfront initialization! error = ENOENT Tpmfront:Info Shutting down tpmfront pin_table(x) returned 850876 Error 9: Unknown boot failure Press any key to continue...

Hi, A patch was released to fix stubdom compile. This should give access to pvgrub. This package needs testing before being pushed (I haven't been able to do any). https://gitlab.com/johnth/aur-xen/ With this patch and indentation fixed in stubdom/vtpmmgr/{log.c,disk_read.c}, the package appears to compile. https://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=668e4edf92fcf7cb929eed221059a3eeb02722c3 Cheers.

Building with `multilib-build` works. However when installing with `yaourt -U ..`, there are conflicting files with the xenstore package: http://sprunge.us/ZhNj When removed, xen installs correctly. Thanks for your assistance o7.

I would strongly suggest you use multilib-build from the devtools package (as opposed to yaourt) for this package. That way we get the same build environment. Otherwise, update, and see if you still get the error. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot Yes, I noticed a build failed in the same place (OVMF) on my CI three days ago (on the 27th), but the days before and after have built fine. https://gitlab.com/johnth/aur-xen/pipelines I will think about maintaining.

Hello, building this package fails. http://sprunge.us/LcKE When I manually add -fpic to the gcc args in aur-xen/src/xen-4.7.0/tools/firmware/ovmf-dir-remote/BaseTools/Source/C/Makefiles/header.makefile the build fails again. http://sprunge.us/dFDE Using the PKGBUILD by @JohnTh doesn't work either.

@JohnTh, are you interested in maintaining this package, since you are already doing that on gitlab?

a)thanx for package PKGBUILD I tried to create it myself but I lost on python-dev dependency. b) Xen wasn't build succesfull with stubdom option: (i have ukrainian locale, some parts of output was translated myself with *TRANSLATED mark) ....... checking how to define a 32-bit word... .long checking if .align assembly directive is logarithmic... no checking if the .align directive accepts an 0x90 fill in .text... yes checking for unsigned short... yes checking size of unsigned short... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (unsigned short) See `config.log' for more details. make[1]: *** [Makefile:174: gmp-x86_64] Error 77 make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/yaourt-tmp-carbon/aur-xen/src/xen-4.7.0/stubdom' make: *** [Makefile:105: install-stubdom] Помилка 2 (*TRANSLATED: Error 2 ) ==> ПОМИЛКА: Стався збій у build(). (*TRANSLATED: Error: Failed in build())    Припинення... (*TRANSLATED: Stopped) ==> ПОМИЛКА: Makepkg не може створити xen. (*TRANSLATED: Makepkg can't create xen) ==> Розпочати знову побудову xen ? так/Ні [y/N] (*TRANSLATED: Start again build xen?) ==> ------------------------------------------- c) Wthout stubdom compiled OK. When I'll done successful xen settings & I'll start guest OS, I'll post about. Thanx

Please keep in mind for Xen on EFI to work on kernel 4.7.x, you need to compile the linux kernel with this patch: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1608.2/03448.html
