glib fails to build with `No module named 'distutils.msvccompiler'`
Opened this issue · 6 comments
What happened?
The glib build seems to be failing on a few PRs with No module named 'distutils.msvccompiler'. From a tiny bit of reading it looks like this was removed in setuptools 74 (or maybe 75, since that was released a few days ago). Do we need to pin a version of that somewhere or use a different version of gobject-introspection?

It seems that this was fixed in upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gobject-introspection/-/merge_requests/490
And 1.82.0 includes this.
conda-forge/gobject-introspection-feedstock#76 will fix this.
Or can we use old distutils for now?
I'm OK waiting for the update; we could also pip install gobject-introspection for now?
gobject-introspection isn't distributed via pip...
Ah...
Ok well it's probably easy enough to pin old distutils for the time being too
