I'm running into a similar issue on macOS when following this example
$ /tmp/xar/bin/python setup.py bdist_xar
running bdist_xar
removing 'build/bdist.macosx-10.14-x86_64/xar' (and everything under it)
error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'build/bdist.macosx-10.14-x86_64/xar'
Hey, thanks for a cool project— I noted that when I install xar in a venv, it doesn't work:
I see the same result when I
source bin/activate
in that virtualenv and also if my project is installed into the virtualenv. It only works as expected if Ipip3 install xar
system-wide (undesirable, especially for many CI setups). Is there something I'm missing here to make this work? Thanks again.It is particularly a problem because xar also seems to pick up (and then complain about) system dependency versions even when it has downloaded the correct/newer ones, eg:
I don't think any of this would be an issue if xar were used from a clean environment.
I'm using Ubuntu; I can reproduce this behaviour on both Ubuntu Xenial (Python 3.5) and Ubuntu Focal (Python 3.8).
