ERROR: Could not build wheels for ninja

[AnatolySh]

The problem:

I'm trying to install ninja in a Docker container on an arm32v7/debian image which doesn't have a corresponding wheel on PyPi and I am getting an error during the build process.
Currently I'm using python 3.9 and pip 23.3.1
I tried different versions of either of them and got the same result

Dockerfile:

FROM arm32v7/debian:bullseye

ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

    apt-get update --yes && \
    apt-get install --no-install-recommends --yes \

RUN python3 -m pip install --upgrade setuptools
RUN python3 -m pip install --upgrade wheel
RUN python3 -m pip install --upgrade scikit-build

RUN python3 -m pip install ninja --verbose

[KumaTea]

I’m building ninja in a RISC-V riscv64 container and it outputs the exactly same error.

By my testing the latest version on ninja that can be successfully built is 1.10.2.3.
Errors start at 1.10.2.4.

By the way, apt install ninja-build might also be an alternative option.

• ninja-1.9.0.post1-cp311-cp311-linux_riscv64.zip
• ninja-1.10.0.post3-cp311-cp311-linux_riscv64.zip
• ninja-1.10.2.3-cp311-cp311-linux_riscv64.zip

I have the same issue on Raspberry Pi 4, with Python 3.10 in a pipenv. For me, 1.10.2.3 doesn't work either.

Same issue appear when I try to install streamlit on RiscV

[fberndl]

Same issue when building for armhf arch and docker platform linux/arm32/v7

[mayeut]

I don't know if building from sources got fixed on any of those platforms with 1.11.1.2 but binary armv7l wheels should now be retrieved instead of trying to build from sources (this of course does not apply to RiscV).

[mattip]

1.11.1.2 is still broken on riscv on the NumPy CI with python3.10.

[mayeut]

@mattip, I have no trouble building in a riscv64 ghcr.io/mayeut/manylinux_2_35:2024.11.23-1 container.
It seems NumPy CI is doing some clever things to do cross-compilation instead of native compilation through QEMU, I'll try to reproduce this workflow locally if I can. There's a first error that's related to setuptools_scm which suggest one of our build dependency isn't doing the right thing here - but the error does not seem to cause the build process to stop -, I guess from either one of those (or the combination), @henryiii should probably know what's going on under the hood in scikit-build-core:

metadata.version.provider = "scikit_build_core.metadata.setuptools_scm"
metadata.readme.provider = "scikit_build_core.metadata.fancy_pypi_readme"

The other error suggests something wrong with the cross-compilation environment:

/host/usr/riscv64-linux-gnu/include/wchar.h:35:10: fatal error: stddef.h: No such file or directory
         35 | #include <stddef.h>

That being said, for Numpy QEMU CI , you might want to filter out ninja from the build requirements as you're overriding it with the host ninja right after installation.

EDIT: The first issue (which in fact is a runtime warning) should be fixed by setuptools-scm. It has a runtime dependency on setuptools with no lower bound when it should require a minimum version.

EDIT2: the build from source on riscv failing in NumPy CI is related to the unusual cross-compilation setup: numpy/numpy#27827 (comment)

[mayeut]

Closing this issue as we could verify building from sources on armhf (where there's now binary wheels which should also reduce the number of users building from sources) & riscv (tested on ubuntu 22.04).
Please re-open or open a new issue if the last version did not solve the issue for your use-case.
