pylibfdt bindings cryptically fail to build with some build environments #78

Closed dgibson closed 1 year ago

dgibson commented 1 year ago

I've been unable to build the pylibfdt bindings for some time. When I try I get this error:

Build environment is Fedora 37:

I failed to reproduce this in a Fedora 37 podman container:

podman run -it fedora:37 /bin/bash
dnf install python3-3.11.1-3.fc37.x86_64
dnf install python-setuptools-wheel-62.6.0-2.fc37.noarch
dnf install python3-setuptools-62.6.0-2.fc37.noarch
dnf install python3-setuptools_scm-7.0.5-1.fc37.noarch 
dnf install diffutils git make gcc swig flex bison python3-devel which
git clone https://github.com/dgibson/dtc
cd dtc
make

And it runs to completion:

make[1]: Entering directory '/root/dtc'
    CHK version_gen.h
    PYMOD pylibfdt/_libfdt.so
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/dtc'

Looks like this is triggered by something odd in my local git tree - the problem goes away with a new clone.

Trying to work out what exactly is triggering the problem, still.

Honestly, I'm unlikely to ever get the time to track this down. I'll just use by new tree and hope for the best.
