I’m building O2Physics on macOS Monterey and it fails building XRootD. The log is rather short and the problem seems to be related to the version of setuptools which is looked for:
so try to run in your user: python3 -m pip install --user setuptools==60.8.2
moreover, if you can spare the time, make a tryout with commenting in xrootd.sh from your alidist
this lines: https://github.com/alisw/alidist/blob/master/xrootd.sh#L46-L48
and then do a python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade setuptools
and see how it goes (but please, tell us the result ) … if you obtain positive result, maybe this restriction can be removed from recipe
Thanks @asevcenc, I tried commenting lines 46-49 of xrootd.sh and XRootD compiled without any more error (with setuptools-67.3.1). I don’t know if the problem is related, but now the building fails in arrow@v9.0.0-alice1, the log is available here: CERNBox
