error on debian: "TypeError: Can't instantiate abstract class GnuDynamicLinker with abstract method id" #8301

Open kamomil opened 3 years ago

kamomil commented 3 years ago

I use debian:

istributor ID:  Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid
Release:    testing
Codename:   bullseye

with python 3.9 I installed meson with pip3 install meson and when running meson build --reconfig I get:

root@guri:~/libcamera# meson build --reconfig

I'm assuming this is with meson 0.56.2?

db-src commented 3 years ago

I am also seeing this, and it stops me from building gtk-doc and hence anything else that would depend on that. I am on meson 0.56.2. Advice on how to proceed would be appreciated. Thanks!

Can you provide exact steps to reproduce? I'd like to fix this, but I cannot reproduce it.

keithbowes commented 3 years ago

Yeah, I just upgraded the distro I use (Mageia) and am getting the same problem in trying to recompile slurp, swayidle, wlroots, among others.

$ meson --reconfigure build

Doing a meson --wipe build allows them to be built.

db-src commented 3 years ago

Thanks, wiping seems to work indeed. So it seems like some incompatibility between old/new Meson versions, as I hadn't been building the affected modules for months (via JHBuild).

I don't have more exact steps to reproduce than 'try jhbuild build SomeModule' though, I'm afraid. But perhaps the backtrace and the fact it seems to trigger when trying to regenerate build files from months ago, and fails on pickle.load, might hint at the cause.
