Updated in git, but neither 5.4 or 5.5 builds with python 3.6. Investigating, more eyes welcome.
Currently the builds aren't even making it to the python3 section. Doing a build in f26 or rawhide gives the following error. ... make[3]: Leaving directory '/builddir/build/BUILD/brltty-5.4/Programs' set -- --quiet build --build-temp .; \ [ "linux-gnu" != "mingw32" ] || set -- "${@}" --compiler mingw32; \ /usr/bin/python2 ./setup.py "${@}" cc1: error: -Wformat-security ignored without -Wformat [-Werror=format-security] cc1: some warnings being treated as errors error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 ... This is because the package is building with the -Werror=format-security set, but in setup.py we are setting -Wno-format In order for it to build we have to do one of two things (though I'm not ruling out something different) to change the flags in setup.py. diff --git a/configure b/configure index 1f4f567..2c04f99 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -8673,7 +8673,7 @@ fi if test "${GCC}" = "yes" then - CYTHON_CFLAGS="-Wno-parentheses -Wno-unused -Wno-format -fno-strict-aliasing -U_POSIX_C_SOURCE -U_XOPEN_SOURCE" + CYTHON_CFLAGS="-Wno-error=format-security -Wno-parentheses -Wno-unused -Wno-format -fno-strict-aliasing -U_POSIX_C_SOURCE -U_XOPEN_SOURCE" else case "${host_os}" in -- or diff --git a/configure b/configure index 1f4f567..2c04f99 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -8673,7 +8673,7 @@ fi if test "${GCC}" = "yes" then - CYTHON_CFLAGS="-Wno-parentheses -Wno-unused -Wno-format -fno-strict-aliasing -U_POSIX_C_SOURCE -U_XOPEN_SOURCE" + CYTHON_CFLAGS="-Wno-parentheses -Wno-unused -fno-strict-aliasing -U_POSIX_C_SOURCE -U_XOPEN_SOURCE" else case "${host_os}" in -- Both get you past this build error. But then unfortunately, we're back to the original problem, that it's not building on python 3.6.
Upstream fixed the cflags issue in 5.5; only the Python 3 issue remains. I'll dig into it further today.
configure isn't doing what is ought to be with the PYTHON environment variable, even if I manually specify all the related variables, or re-run autogen. Sent message to the mailing list.
