Feeling sick… Churning along…
macOS Spice Build
checking for python module libxml2... not found configure: error: Python module libxml2 is needed to run this package *** Error during phase configure of itstool: ########## Error running ./configure --prefix /Users/ddd/spice-jhbuild/inst --disable-Werror --disable-static --disable-gtk-doc --disable-introspection *** [6/47]
Fix:
brew install libxml2 --with-python cd /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.9.4_2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/* .
Notice that the --with-python option is missing in some answers on the web.
Next error:
configure: error: GNU gettext tools not found; required for intltool *** Error during phase configure of yelp-xsl: ########## Error running ./configure --prefix /Users/ddd/spice-jhbuild/inst --disable-Werror --disable-static --disable-gtk-doc --disable-introspection *** [8/47]
This one is a bit more tricky, because gettext is “keg-only” on macOS Brew, meaning that since macOS comes up with the BSD gettext, the GNU version cannot be placed in the default path without breaking stuff.
So I dropped to a shell (option 4 proposed by jhbuild after the failure) and manually ran configure with environment variables pointing to the right locations:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.19.8.1/bin LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.19.8.1/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.19.8.1/include ./configure
After that, I get a rather strange crash. I believe that jhbuild did not realize I had configured things myself.

The next run of jhbuild still tries to construct yelp-xsl. Time for plan B:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.19.8.1/bin LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.19.8.1/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.19.8.1/include jhbuild -f jhbuildrc build
That goes one step further, then stops on:
configure: error: could not find DocBook XML DTD V4.3 in XML catalog *** Error during phase configure of gtk-doc: ########## Error running ./configure --prefix /Users/ddd/spice-jhbuild/inst --disable-Werror --with-xml-catalog=$JHBUILD_PREFIX/share/xml/catalog --disable-static --disable-gtk-doc --disable-introspection *** [10/47]
Simplest thing here is probably to brew install gtk-doc. A bit scary, because now it builds Python 2.7.13 from sources. But oh well, while I’m at it 😉
Next error in line is:

Linux Spice Build
Finally ran jhbuild successfully all the way. Now utilizing 49% of the root disk on the Linux partition… This is quite a bit more than I was expecting.
Half a sick day
Went back to the hotel to sleep all afternoon…
