glib is failing to compile within vagrant with:

Looks like I was able to get around it by disabling glib tests in makefile_base.mak:

GLIB_MESON_ARGS := -Dlibmount=false -Denable_tests=no

I've seen this sporadically, too. Re-running the make command would get around it, so I didn't look further into it. I'm fine with disabling tests. Are you sure that fixes it (as opposed to just re-running make)?

I have not had a single failure regarding glib since adding it. It was happening consistently every time before I added it.

Aaeikum 2020-02-13 github

Cool, thanks for looking into this. I'll add the change to my local tree for next release.

welp. surprise surprise. it decided to rear its ugly head again today. seems the option doesn't work after all or is invalid.

It seems rebooting the VM works. Maybe some kind of cache issue?

No option to disable tests there, see meson_options.txt

Gentoo-style -Denable_tests=no:

# Don't build tests, also prevents extra deps, bug [#512022](/issue/ValveSoftware/Proton/512022)
sed -i -e '/subdir.*tests/d' {.,gio,glib}/meson.build || die

Whole if-else block

We no longer build glib in Proton 5.13. It's still technically an issue on the 5.0 series, but, well, there's only so many hours in the day. OK to close this?

Closing per the last comment.
