Unable to build poppler package with asp

wesphys · 2017-12-12 03:33:30

My goal is to build a copy of the poppler package so that I can test a patch/bugfix.

First, I read the Arch_Build_System wiki page.

Before modifying things, I decided to try and build the stock package.

So then installed asp and ran

asp export poppler

and then in the poppler directory that was produced I ran

makepkg -s

The build process went for a while and then stopped with

WARNING:root:Running scanner failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/poppler/src/build/glib': 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/poppler/src/build/glib', command: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/poppler/src/build/glib ./poppler-scan

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:794: glib/reference/CMakeFiles/glib-docs.dir/all] Error 2

I did a Google search for this error but failed to find any apparently relevant results. I also searched the Arch bug tracker and the poppler bug tracker and didn't see anything.

Is there something else that I need to do to be able build the package myself?

It looks like you are building on /tmp .
That is usually a tmpfs in your ram memory .
fast, but limited in size .

Does the build work if you do it on a hdd or ssd ?
In case that also fails, try building in a clean chroot.

Thank you for your response.

No, I tried this and received the same message.

I did so following the instructions from here and also received the same error message.

gtkdoc is emitting confusing errors. I cannot build this in a clean chroot either, and https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/archlinux/ marks it as a package failing to build as well (logs are HERE).

This is a clear case of failing to build from source. You can file a bug if you like.

Great. The linked logs shows exactly what I am seeing.

Done. Thanks for your help.

For the record, "fails to build from source" is not a high-severity bug as the package itself works fine.

Thanks for the correction. I didn't really understand how to match this case to the severity list. Now I know.

Edit: Oh, and thank you for correcting the summary as well. I will try to do that right next time too.
