glib 2.80.0 build error

[HuidaeCho]

I just cloned the MXE repo and did make glib. It fails with the following error:

Failed to build package glib for target x86_64-pc-linux-gnu!

I'm experiencing a glib build error too in an Ubuntu 22.04 Docker container, but this is the error message I get:

HuidaeCho: Could you please put the full log file in a gist (or your preferred flavor of pastebin) and link it here? A single error message isn't a lot to go off of. The log file should be located at /usr/local/src/mxe/log/glib_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (as indicated by the [log] message), unless you have tried building again, in which case those symlink will have updated and will now point to a new log. You can still find the old log file under the mxe/log/YYYYMMDD_hhmmss folder, which will be the date/time which you started that particular build attempt.

messmerd: I'm also under Ubuntu 22.04.4, and I got the exact same error. I was able to resolve it by doing pip install packaging (which installed it in my home dir, but I'm sure you can add sudo and install it system-wide as well). This will probably work for you as well.
