Greetings...
For a project (Privoxy), I got involved in building Mbed TLS
(https://www.trustedfirmware.org/projects/mbed-tls/). Mbed TLS seems to
require the Jinja2 Pyhthon module (https://pypi.org/project/Jinja2/).
Unfortunately, pip (well, gcc, more likely) is having a hard time
building wheel, as a prereq for MarkupCode, which itself is a prereq for
Jinja2.
I've hackishly worked around the problem by removing line 91 from
python3.9/site-packages/setuptools/command/install_lib.py:
assert preserve_mode and preserve_times and not preserve_symlinks
What I'm failing to understand, however, is why the assertion fails in
the first place. It seems perfectly reasonable, unless I'm missing
something. Before I open a ticket for bww about this, I thought I might
mention it here, in case anyone has any ideas.
Thanks
Here's a bit of the output (mind the wrapping):
Wonder about it not wanting to write to your $HOME directory, seems to fail with copy_tree
Interestingly enough, the pip subdirectory doesn't exist under .cache. I wonder if something went awry during the pip install. FWIW, I also tried building with --no-cache-dir, which simply quieted down that bit of noise (though the assertion still failed).
I'll try adding the pip directory, though.
Thanks
