Meson Build Error on Arch

[verifizieren]

Hey when I tried doing exactly what the tutorials says, i get this error: ` Configuring alpha-softmmu-config-devices.mak with command

../meson.build:2622:25: ERROR: Command /usr/bin/python /opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py --defconfig alpha-softmmu-config-devices.mak /opt/Qemu/qemu/build/meson-private/alpha-softmmu-config-devices.mak.d /opt/Qemu/qemu/configs/devices/alpha-softmmu/default.mak /opt/Qemu/qemu/Kconfig CONFIG_TPM=y CONFIG_SPICE=y CONFIG_IVSHMEM=y CONFIG_OPENGL=y CONFIG_X11=y CONFIG_VHOST_USER=y CONFIG_VHOST_VDPA=y CONFIG_VHOST_KERNEL=y CONFIG_VIRTFS=y CONFIG_LINUX=y CONFIG_MULTIPROCESS_ALLOWED=y CONFIG_TCG=y CONFIG_ALPHA=y failed with status 1.

A full log can be found at /opt/Qemu/qemu/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt

ERROR: meson setup failed

[max@Archie qemu]$ ` I am on Arch, that might be the reason but I don't really know. I have been trying to build qemu for 2 days now but it kept failing.

This is a snippet from the meson-log.txt: ` --- stderr --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 700, in parser.parse_file(fp) File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 362, in parse_file self.parse_config() File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 575, in parse_config self.parse_clause() File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 564, in parse_clause self.do_include(val) File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 413, in do_include KconfigParser(self.data).parse_file(fp) File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 362, in parse_file self.parse_config() File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 575, in parse_config self.parse_clause() File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 564, in parse_clause self.do_include(val) File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 413, in do_include KconfigParser(self.data).parse_file(fp) File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 362, in parse_file self.parse_config() File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 575, in parse_config self.parse_clause() File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 566, in parse_clause self.parse_declaration() File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 551, in parse_declaration var = self.parse_var() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/opt/Qemu/qemu/scripts/minikconf.py", line 435, in parse_var raise KconfigParserError(self, 'Expected identifier') KconfigParserError: In file included from /opt/Qemu/qemu/Kconfig:6: In file included from /opt/Qemu/qemu/hw/Kconfig:57: /opt/Qemu/qemu/hw/mips/Kconfig:60:8: Expected identifier before "="

You cannot use python2 , it is outdated, please replace it with python3 :

root@LXC-ProxmoxCompile:~/patchgen# python3 --version
Python 3.9.2
root@LXC-ProxmoxCompile:~/patchgen# 

Because you are using python2 , there is a possible , you are using the old system enviroment to build latest qemu, I am very recommending you to compile it within Docker or other virtual enviroment, in case of your machine system broken .

Well im am using Python3, anyways when compiling trough a Ubuntu vm, everything works since I can get all the build-dep easily on there but I don’t know how to d that on Arch. Also when I try to build the compiled version on my Arch system, it fails again so what could be the issue here?

[zhaodice]

did you try to build it on arch docker container ? I guess your machine has some incompatible package or config, make pure arch environment and try it again. don't forget to upgrade your arch system to the latest version.

Yes that worked, thanks!
