Hi, I'm attempting to build SageMath from source. I run Windows 10 WSL/Ubuntu 20.04 and Python 3.10.8. I followed all of the instructions in the "Getting Started" manual, including changing the PATH variable to what was specified. What ends up happening in my installation when I run "make" is that some of the packages in the "build" folder are using old-style SPKG's, namely:
build/pkgs/sage_conf build/pkgs/sage_docbuild build/pkgs/sage_setup build/pkgs/sage_sws2rst build/pkgs/sage_sagelib build/pkgs/sagemath_bliss build/pkgs/sagemath_categories build/pkgs/sagemath_coxeter3 build/pkgs/sagemath_environment build/pkgs/sagemath_mcqd build/pkgs/sagemath_meataxe build/pkgs/sagemath_objects build/pkgs/sagemath_repl build/pkgs/sagemath_sirocco build/pkgs/sagemath_tdlib build/pkgs/pplpy_doc What is common to all of these directories is that "package-version.txt" has a slash in the contents and is thus detected by the bash script build/bin/sage-spkg as an old-style SPKG (line 297 "Error: Installing old-style SPKGs is no longer supported"). Now you'd think that I could just change the contents in each of the package-version.txt files into the one that they reference (e.g. 0.8.9 for pplpy-doc), but this causes further errors because old-style SPKGs are legitimately no longer supported. The file "spkg-install.in" has a command "cd src", but under these old-style SPKG's, there is no src file to cd into. (this is taking place inside local/var/lib/venv-python3.10/var/tmp/sage/build/<pkgname>-<pkgversion>.) Then further along it tries to install the package (e.g. with the command sdh-install) but then I get an error saying that they cannot recognize the folder as a Python object since is no "setup.py" or "pyproject.toml". This isn't an issue with new-style SPKGs, since they download a tarball, which then gives a /src/ subfolder, which has "setup.py" and/or "pyproject.toml". (NOTE: for pplpy_doc, this is fine, the installation is just skipped, but for the next folder in the build sequence, sage_conf, I run into this error.) I'd like to know if there is any fix to this mysterious error. Best, Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
