@malinas Seems we encounter almost the same error, i have already use gcc-multilib and still experience this error. Any idea? pacman -Q | grep gcc gcc-libs-multilib 5.3.0-5 gcc-multilib 5.3.0-5 lib32-gcc-libs 5.3.0-5 checking size of unsigned short... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (unsigned short) See `config.log' for more details.

I guess, I will just update my own 4.6 build from a year ago.

John, that is nice.. i already patched the broken pakcages back in Feb 2015, and actually ran a 4.6 unstable branch back then. However, server ben down some months and after update, I can't for the love of my life make xen see the LVM root on boot :/ I will give yours a try and cross my fingers! ,p

Hi, I have been having go updating the Xen AUR to latest versions (4.5.2 and 4.6.1) with most XSA patches. The files are here: https://gitlab.com/johnth/aur-xen/tree/xen-4.5 https://gitlab.com/johnth/aur-xen/tree/master Both branches should build without error using multilib-build, but are not well tested. These include ovmf and xen.efi. Let me know any suggestions.

Hi! Below is the full PKGBUILD for xen-docs updated to 4.5.1 so it is aligned with xen. Hope it helps. # Maintainer: M0Rf30 pkgname=xen-docs pkgver=4.5.1 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Xen 4 (docs)" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://xen.org/" license=('GPL') makedepends=('markdown' 'transfig' 'ghostscript') conflicts=('xen4' 'xen3' 'xen-hv-tools' 'libxen4') source=(http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/${pkgver}/xen-${pkgver}.tar.gz) package() { cd "$srcdir/xen-$pkgver" unset CFLAGS LDFLAGS ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-xen --disable-tools --disable-stubdom --enable-docs make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install-docs } md5sums=('d12dc9e5e8bd22a68b5c7f53119221f1')

Hello! I was getting a compilation error both with xen-4.5.1 and xen-4.4.2 (packages xen and xen-4.4, resp.): gcc -E ... -o compat/grant_table.i compat/grant_table.c compat/grant_table.c:33:1: error: unterminated comment /* ^ compat/grant_table.c:28:0: error: unterminated #ifndef #ifndef __XEN_PUBLIC_GRANT_TABLE_H__ ^ Makefile:61: recipe for target 'compat/grant_table.i' failed make[3]: *** [compat/grant_table.i] Error 1 I've fixed it by adding this in the PKGBUILD previous to `make LANG=C PYTHON=python2` in build(): `sed -i.backup '33,54d' xen/include/public/grant_table.h` It removes the offendig block comment which prevents compilation. It fixes it for me both in xen and xen-4.4. Hope it helps.

KamijouTouma: did you look at Config.log, sounds more like a env-var issue. not a makepkg issue.

Recently did an orphaned package cleanup and lost a couple of xen-required libs: #> pacman -Qi vde2 libnl |egrep "Name|Required" Name : vde2 Required By : None Name : libnl Required By : libpcap Without libnl 'xl -list' doesn't work (and no doubt more) Without vde2 hvm VMs don't work

It seems binutils dropped support for PE binary linking, which broke the EFI binary generation in the Xen build process. The Fedora guys made a patch to replace it with mingw64, which you can find here: https://github.com/jakogut/xen-igvtg-aur/blob/master/xen_efi_build.patch
