Can't build olympe-linux on Debian 9 (stretch)

I am using Debian 9 (stretch).

After doing a $ ./products/olympe/linux/env/postinst I get an error:

E: Unable to locate package libclang-6.0-dev
E: Couldn’t find any package by glob ‘libclang-6.0-dev’
E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘libclang-6.0-dev’

After this I try build with $ ./build.sh -p olympe-linux -A all final -j either with a manual dependency install or automatic:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/kryman/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/clang/cindex.py”, line 4023, in register_function
func = getattr(lib, item[0])
File “/usr/lib/python3.5/ctypes/init.py”, line 360, in getattr
func = self.getitem(name)
File “/usr/lib/python3.5/ctypes/init.py”, line 365, in getitem
func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self))
AttributeError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libclang-3.8.so.1: undefined symbol: clang_CXXConstructor_isConvertingConstructor

I am not sure what has happened or why this is not working? Is it some version inconvenience between clang and python?

One other question: Is it possible to install regular Sphinx to use a simulated drone or do I need to install parrot-sphinx?

Hello

Here is what’s happening:

  • the postinst script tries to install libclang-6.0-dev
  • apt can’t find it from the debian stretch repositories you’ve configured on your machine (libclang-6.0-dev is in the stretch-backports repo), so the postinst script fails.
  • when you proceed with the build step, since you are missing an essential dependency the ./build.sh -p olympe-linux -A all final -j command is doomed to fail. Here, it seems that it tries to use libclang-3.8.so.1 (i.e. not the right version of libclang) but the clang==6.0.0.2 python package is not compatible with this version of libclang.
  • You end up with a cryptic error message undefined symbol: clang_CXXConstructor_isConvertingConstructor that is completely irrelevant

To fix this issue, you need to add stretch-backport to your apt repository :

echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null

You can replace http://deb.debian.org/debian by an URL of a mirror closer to your location: https://packages.debian.org/stretch-backports/amd64/libclang-6.0-dev/download

Then you just have to update your package sources list :

sudo apt-get update

and then retry the postinst script :

./products/olympe/linux/env/postinst

If you’re encountering any other error at this point please report them here. Thanks

Thank you for your help. It was the wrong mirror being used, just as you explained. So the postinstall and the build after that went through okay.
