error when I build the package

[licode]

When I try to build it locally as

conda build .  -c conda-forge

I got following error:

Can someone help me on this? thanks!

I think what might be going on here is that some of the packages that your build is pulling in are coming form the defaults channel of official Anaconda packages, which might not have all the features needed for the conda-forge build.

To build a Linux package locally, the best way is to use the Docker-based build framework, since it will get all of the environment setup right. Here the command would be something like:

$ CONFIG=linux_python3.6 ./.circleci/run_docker_build.sh

Note that if you haven't run this command before, the script will download a ~1 GB Linux OS image used to create the build container.

Thanks, @pkgw . One reason I'd like to try to build package locally is that I find lots of libraries I am using is based on glib=2.56. However, the current pygobject in conda-forge is based on glib=2.55. I think the dependency path is pygobject->gobject-introspection->glib=2.55. Basically the following command fails

conda create -n gobject_test python=3.6  pygobject glib=2.56 -c conda-forge

I was wondering if it is possible to build pygobect again glib=2.56? Or it will be helpful if you can point to me any direction I can follow?

[pkgw]

That suggests that we need to update our "pinning" of glib in the conda-forge build system to the 2.56 version. I've started a discussion of that in conda-forge-pinning-feedstock #119.

[pkgw]

Pinning has been updated, so I'm going to close this.
