lxml-4.0.0 (Python module)

[bdubbs@…]

New point version.

Like 3.8.0 this too fails to build with libxslt-1.1.30

Building lxml version 4.0.0.
Building without Cython.
Using build configuration of libxslt 1.1.30
ERROR: /usr/bin/xslt-config: line 96: --cflags: command not found

** make sure the development packages of libxml2 and libxslt are installed **

Looks like a bug in xslt-config. I'll flag that up separately.

Since we seem to have a fetish for documenting testsuites, I'll add the details. This one is different - setup.py test is necessary (it takes as long as a build, and looks similar, but a build is not sufficient) but reports it ran 0 tests, and then test.py runs the tests.

I've found more details at their website, with (possibly) a different way to run the tests ('make test') - will try that tomorrow, although I doubt it will make much difference to the time (currently 1.5 SBU to build and install, 1.7 SBU to test).

Doesn't affect the time, but it's only one command and also the recommended way. Oddly, when I did this for real (as root) I got (the same) three failures in each version of python, but running it by hand, even as root, was back to 1 failure in each.

Fixed at r19258.
