Build problems on yay -S xen

andrewyu · 2020-04-23 12:52:06

Newb here, I don't know too many things, thanks for helping.

I tried to build xen from the AUR with yay, but after a lot of build output, I finally got a error.

Here is the command output.

I already installed multilib-devel as instructed in wiki.

Hope people could help! Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. Please use a pastebin client that does not require us to download your log file. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … in_clients

Moving to AUR issues.

What was the error message? There is no error in that output - it just looks like the build process was killed.

I found some posts on the arch forum that it was a PKGBUILD problem. I remember that PKGBUILDs are exclusive in arch systems, and the PKGBUILD in the aur package xen was broken according to some other posts. I will be trying to './configure&&make world&&make install' as in xenproject.org 's download, rather than installing from the AUR. I will see if that solves the problem.

What I am trying:

Download latest xen-$version.tar.gz from xenproject.org, login to root, cd to that folder just untared, and run

./configure
make world
make install

I tried to use some pastebin services, but I am not able to paste large (2.5 megabyte) texts there.

If only there was a place where the collected knowledge of arch users was stored to offer recommendations on such topics.

In a perfect world, there might even be a set of community guidelines for the forum, linked from several sticked posts in the forums that would direct someone to such knowledge.

We can only dream.

If it is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xen/#comment-739091
then I was able to fix it by switching to the system supplied ocaml and applying the patch from https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xen/ … nch=master

Fedora then dropped that patch when updating to 4.13.0 so that would be another possiblity to investigate.
Edit:
4.13.0 builds without the patch:
