Re: Problem building on Fedora Rawhide

 

This has now been corrected in Fedora rawhide as described in [1], which let me close the associated KiCAD FTBFS in [2].

I don't know if this issue is unique to Fedora or if others will see the same problem.  I guess that depends on whether/when the upstream python3-wxpython4 project corrects the problem.  I've attached the patch to python3-wxpython4 in case it is useful to anyone.

I also saw a similar issue on the wxWidgets site and added a comment [2].

I just updated my rawhide VM, and you are quite correct:

rawhide$ python -c "import wx;print(wx.version())"

I'll post on the Fedora mailing list and see where they want the bug filed.

Steve,

I saw that failure last night also, and I think it may be a wxPython problem with Python 3.10. I don't hav ea Rawhide VM available at the moment, but what we should do is try the following:

1) Install Python 3.10 and python-wxpython4 in a Rawhide install
2) Run python -c "import wx;print(wx.version())"
3) See if it errors

My guess is there will be an error in step 2, in which case we need to push it upstream to wxPython and the Fedora Python maintainers.

    The nightly build failed with an error when building KiCAD for Fedora Rawhide, when discovering the python interpreter.  I haven't tracked down the root cause yet, but below are the error messages in case anyone has an idea on what can cause this.  Fedora has recently upgraded the python version, so perhaps that is the cause.
