problem compiling 10.8 beta-3 on Debien Forky/sid

[Thierry Dumont]

After an update of the system, sage (stable and 10.3 beta-8) could no
more be run.

So, on 10.8 beta 3, I did

make distclean
./configure
make reconfigure
make
and I got a problem with maxima:

The following package(s) may have failed to build (not necessarily
during this run of 'make all-start'):

* package: maxima-5.47.0

Trying again with

./configure -with-system-maxima=no

I got the same message.

(log file is joined)

Yours,
Thierry

try
./configure -with-system-ecl=no

The problem is not in Maxima package, but in incompatibility of your
system-wide ecl with the current setup.

That's definitely something we need to fix soon.

Thierry, what Debian are you on?
Also, could you please post the full log of maxima spkg build, not the
bottom part only?

I am trying to reproduce this on Debian stable (trixie), with not yet
announced beta4, but already
available via git) and it all works there, with system-wide ecl.

However, I see

make[3]: *** No rule to make target
'/home/dp/sage/pkgs/sage-conf/_sage_conf/_conf.py', needed by
'/home/dp/sage/local/var/lib/sage/venv-python3.13/var/lib/sage/installed/sage_conf-10.8.beta4'.
Stop.

It goes away if I do

./configure --disable-sage_conf

I've also noticed that ./sage -t src/sage/interfaces/fricas.py hangs
indefinitely (with system-wide fricas installed)

I am running Debian in a podman containter (sort of docker, but open-source).
That's "podman run -it debian".

Command-wise it's mostly compatible with docker.

Ah...
I am on Debian Forky (sid), up todate.
But as
./configure -with-system-ecl=no
actually *solved* the problem for both stable and beta-3 versions, I did
not keep the logs...

On Debian Testing with system ecl testing I get

which is not a surprise, as the (unpatched, apparently) ecl used by
Debian is not compatible with gcc 15.
It's a Debian bug, I think.
They can use our patches in build/pkgs/ecl/patches/ to make it work.
