Unable to build glib2 due to missing directory?

For Developers
1

I opened up Issue#17340 but was wondering if anyone has a suggestion to fix this build error I get compiling HEAD. Failure occurs building glib2. My host is Arch Linux which recently updated python to 3.10.

bash: line 1: /scratch/union/staging_dir/host/bin/python: No such file or directory

When I look at that directory, I see broken symlinks to python3.9:

% ls -lh | grep python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 facade users   18 Nov 21 10:20 python -> /usr/bin/python3.9
lrwxrwxrwx 1 facade users   18 Nov 21 10:20 python3 -> /usr/bin/python3.9

What is the right way to update them? make disclean and rebuild the toolchian?

For completeness, this is the output building with make -j1 V=s:

try linking the ones in /usr/bin to where they really are ...

3

Yeah, I did this and the build was successful. Is that a hacky fix? What is best practice when the host OS bumps a major tool like python? Just make distclean and rebuild the toolchain?

4

no idea, but you're not alone ...

5

Same problem here. Between this and the binutils issue i'm starting to think archlinux is not a good distro for building openwrt. It's rolling release model rolls faster than openwrt.

6

Well, this seems to be a trivial fix of correcting a few symlinks. As well, the binutils issue is also a trivial fix, simply revert 0097899da7.

And for the record, the breakage of binutils has been reported against openwrt (FS#4149) and upstream against binutils (Bug#28545).
