Conversation
Python 3.11 is needed in order to build glib. The distutils deprecation prevents glib from building against 3.12. Meson does not use environment variables and will use the python that it was configured against when building. For this reason it is necessary to pin meson down to python 3.11 in order to fix the glib build. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com>
Python 3.12 removed distutils, which glib requires at build time.
The following error is observed when building glib:
meson.build:2329:26:
ERROR: <PythonExternalProgram 'python3' ->
['/usr/local/opt/python@3.12/bin/python3.12']>
is not a valid python or it is missing distutils

That's not a real solution to the problem. We can't keep everything on 3.11 forever. |
Sure thing, but the current version simply fails to build so this is better than what's currently in the tree. Upgrading glib is probably a separate topic. |
|
This will be fixed by #151906 I think. |
|
Now that it's merged, lets see if we can rebuild glib: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/actions/runs/6605152461 |

❌ @SMillerDev bottle request for glib failed. |

It looks like a better solution is being pursued already so I'll close this one for now. I'll keep an eye on this thread in case anything changes. Thanks for the homebrew. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
if this moves back to py3,.11, then it does not need depends_on "python-setuptools" => :build
|
ok, looks like we already found a better solution. :) |
Since #152017, glib does not provide Python as a dependency anymore. gspell fails to build as it does not find Python
The distutils removal in Python 3.12 broke the glib build.
Pin down dependencies to Python 3.11.
