As of now (2024-22-05) Xen with stubdom doesn't build because of a problem in the imported code. Been this way for about two weeks. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Also, there is a lot of work happening on Xen in my development repo, thanks to @Serus. Check it out at: https://github.com/refutationalist/saur

Uploading an update - key changes are the addition of two security patches and some initial work to clean up the PKGBUILD and the compiling process.

@ironicbadger: unfortunately I've not been able to reproduce this error yet - can you try building it again, capturing all output to a file, then send me a copy of that file, please? "makepkg >& build.log" should work if you're using a bash shell. Also, have you made any other changes to the PKGBUILD file? Added any other patches? are you up to date with all recent package updates? I will be uploading a new package sometime soon, but its only cleanup of the PKGBUILD and one of the patches at this point

@atondwal: I just tried rebuilding the package on my build machine and am unable to reproduce the issue you saw. Have you made any other changes to the source (such as adding additional patches)? Have you tried rebuilding from scratch (make sure to delete the src and pkg directories from where you are building the PKGBUILD file)? I'll continue to try some things but without being able to reproduce, its harder to fix.

I'm getting some problems with the vhd libs during compilation... https://gist.github.com/atondwal/53dd5fe2bc954c2642b8

I think it's normal that on a x86_64 architecture sizeof(long) is 8 and than not 4.

trixpan, I probably will but haven't had a chance to play with it too much yet so want to do that first.

kantras commented on 2014-05-17 16:16 (UTC)

I found out about this patch a couple of days ago - it should be a part of the next release; I'm just checking in case theres anything else to go in, and will upload a new version later today once I've done my usual build-testing
