We've moved to the newly-stable 4.20.0 branch. There are also other changes:

stubdom is fixed by disabling the vtmp and vtpmmgr components. This gets rid of a few source files and our remaining patches.
Debug files are only removed if the debug option is not set in makepkg.cfg (or the PKGBUILD itself)
pygrub has been removed
optdepends are adjusted for the upcoming xen-grub split package for the various Xen flavored builds.

If you're still using pygrub note that it is deprecated. The solution is to build PV grub instead, which used to be in AUR but is now missing. I am asking a couple questions on the mailing list, and I intend to put my current build of xen-grub (which supersedes xen-pvhgrub) on AUR as soon as possible. If you need to build it before that occurs, you can find it in my PKGBUILD repo.

EDIT: 4.20.0-2 adds support for the xen-edk2 package, which has a fixed UEFI for xen

I have spent many hours the last days trying to get a VM running with UEFI (ovmf), but Xen keeps crashing (visible by "xl dmesg").

It is related to the used Arch ovmf package in combination with the Xen configure parameter in PKGBUILD

--with-system-ovmf=/usr/share/ovmf/x64/OVMF_CODE.fd

After removing this parameter, Xen uses its 'native' ovmf binary provided by

/usr/lib/xen/boot/ovmf.bin

and not the one from the arch ovmf package provided by

/usr/share/ovmf/x64/OVMF_CODE.fd /usr/share/ovmf/x64/OVMF_VARS.fd

Would you mind to either (for now) remove the ovmf configure parameter and/or solve the cause of the crashing Xen with the Arch ovmf package?

I ran into the same libiscsi.so.8 problem. Re-compiling Xen and re-installing resolved the issue.

Post upgrade, xen cannot start Windows HVM since libiscsi got upgraded. Can you make that dependency build-time version specific?

I had to add this line to the PKGBUILD file:

Compile fixes.

sed 's/CFLAGS += -fPIC -Werror -I$(shell ocamlc -where)/CFLAGS += -fPIC -I$(shell ocamlc -where)/' -i tools/ocaml/common.make

@mbroemme First of thanks for getting it working with gcc-9!

Secondly I'm running into the following compile issue: .cache/yay/xen/src/xen-4.12.1/tools/qemu-xen/include/disas/capstone.h:6:10: fatal error: capstone.h: No such file or directory 6 | #include <capstone.h>

I have capstone installed; and /usr/include/capstone/capstone.h exists. Any chance of a suggestion, Also should capstone be listed as a dependency?

mbroemme commented on 2019-08-15 10:08 (UTC) (edited on 2019-08-15 10:08 (UTC) by mbroemme)

Package is updated to Xen 4.12.1, ipxe package as well, supporting compilation with gcc-9.

@dhlk thanks for it, added !debug

fresh install of arch

attempted to install xen - failed

removed gcc v9, installed gcc-8

symlinked gcc -> gcc-8

re-tried install of xen - failed

/usr/bin/env: 'python': No such file or directory

So, looks like a dependency on python isn't configured properly? python2 is installed...

Installed python (python v3)
