Hi guys,
I have a problem building meson (chapter 6.53) in LFS 9.1. I've tried the
original meson version and the one from the LFS dev branch (v.0.55.0). I
got the following error in v.0.55.0:
python3 setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 24, in <module>
from setuptools import setup
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/setuptools/__init__.py", line 20,
in <module>
from setuptools.dist import Distribution, Feature
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/setuptools/dist.py", line 35, in
<module>
from setuptools import windows_support
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/setuptools/windows_support.py",
line 2, in <module>
import ctypes
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/ctypes/__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ctypes'
Quick web search indicated that on ubuntu such a problem could be solved by
installing libffi-dev. I see only one reference to libffi in LFS and it was
built successfully. I was unable to find any threads in the forum, thus I
wonder if anyone could help to sort it out.
Regards,
Alexey
