This commit addresses multiple CI/CD pipeline failures after the GitHub Actions v3→v4 upgrade. The failures were analyzed in parallel by specialized agents for each build flavor. ## Fixes Applied ### 1. Windows Builds (CI-Win-NoCUDA, CI-Win-CUDA) - **Issue**: Python 3.12.7 removed the `distutils` module, breaking vcpkg's glib build (gdbus-codegen requires distutils) - **Fix**: Restored the setuptools installation step for vcpkg's embedded Python that was accidentally removed in commit 2342267 - **File**: `.github/workflows/build-test-win.yml` - **Change**: Added dedicated step to install setuptools into vcpkg's Python environment after the build folder is created ### 2. Linux Docker Build (CI-Linux-CUDA-Docker) - **Issue**: Ubuntu 18.04 container has GLIBC 2.27, but GitHub Actions v4 requires Node.js 20 which needs GLIBC 2.28+ - **Fix**: Downgraded to actions v3 (uses Node.js 16, compatible with GLIBC 2.27) for container workflow only as a temporary workaround - **File**: `.github/workflows/build-test-lin-container.yml` - **Changes**: Reverted checkout@v4→v3, cache@v4→v3, upload-artifact@v4→v3 - **Note**: Long-term fix requires updating container to Ubuntu 20.04+ ### 3. Linux Self-Hosted Builds (CI-Linux-CUDA, CI-Linux-ARM64) - **Issue**: `pip3 install cmake==3.29.6` fails due to missing distutils - **Fix**: Added `pip3 install setuptools` before cmake installation - **File**: `.github/workflows/build-test-lin.yml` ### 4. Linux WSL Build (CI-Linux-CUDA-WSL) - **Issue**: Same as #3 - **Fix**: Added `pip3 install setuptools` before cmake installation - **File**: `.github/workflows/build-test-lin-wsl.yml` ## Root Causes 1. **Python 3.12 Breaking Change**: Python 3.12 removed the deprecated `distutils` module. The `setuptools` package provides a compatibility layer that must be explicitly installed. 2. **GLIBC Version Incompatibility**: GitHub Actions v4 requires Node.js 20, which needs GLIBC 2.28+. Old Ubuntu 18.04 containers only have GLIBC 2.27. ## Testing Strategy All fixes target different workflows that can be validated independently: - CI-Win-NoCUDA and CI-Win-CUDA will now install setuptools for vcpkg's Python - CI-Linux-CUDA-Docker will use compatible v3 actions - CI-Linux-CUDA, CI-Linux-ARM64, and CI-Linux-CUDA-WSL will install setuptools before pip installing cmake 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous commit downgraded upload-artifact to v3 along with checkout and cache, but v3 of upload-artifact has been deprecated and is now automatically blocked by GitHub Actions as of April 2024. upload-artifact@v4 doesn't have the GLIBC compatibility issue since it runs on the host runner, not inside the container. Only checkout and cache need to remain at v3 for Ubuntu 18.04 container compatibility. Fix: Keep upload-artifact@v4 while keeping checkout@v3 and cache@v3 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two critical timing/compatibility issues identified and fixed: ## Issue 1: Windows setuptools installation timing - **Problem**: setuptools installation ran BEFORE CMake configure - **Error**: vcpkg/downloads/tools/python directory doesn't exist yet - **Root Cause**: vcpkg downloads Python during CMake configure, not before - **Fix**: Moved setuptools installation AFTER first CMake configure, then reconfigure CMake so glib build can use the installed setuptools ## Issue 2: Docker container Node.js version - **Problem**: Even checkout@v3 now defaults to Node.js 20 (GitHub change) - **Error**: GLIBC_2.28 not found in Ubuntu 18.04 container (has GLIBC 2.27) - **Fix**: Added environment variables to force Node.js 16: - ACTIONS_RUNNER_FORCED_INTERNAL_NODE_VERSION: node16 - ACTIONS_ALLOW_USE_UNSECURE_NODE_VERSION: true These were temporary workarounds that were removed in the v4 upgrade but are still needed for Ubuntu 18.04 container compatibility. Files modified: - .github/workflows/build-test-win.yml: Reordered steps, added reconfigure - .github/workflows/build-test-lin-container.yml: Added Node16 env vars 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
**Critical Fix**: The setuptools installation step was being SKIPPED
## Problem
The first CMake configure step fails because glib can't build without distutils.
The setuptools installation step had condition:
if: ${{!inputs.is-prep-phase}}
This implicitly evaluates to:
if: success() && !inputs.is-prep-phase
Since the CMake configure step failed, success() = false, so the setuptools
installation was skipped entirely, causing the same distutils error on
reconfigure.
## Solution
Changed conditions to:
if: always() && !inputs.is-prep-phase
This ensures setuptools installation runs even after CMake configure failure.
## Flow
1. Configure CMake (fails - expected, glib needs distutils)
2. Install setuptools (now runs with always() condition)
3. Reconfigure CMake (should succeed with setuptools installed)
4. Continue with build

**Root Cause**: vcpkg was reusing glib build artifacts from the first (failed) CMake configure that occurred BEFORE setuptools was installed. ## The Issue 1. First CMake configure runs and tries to build glib 2. glib build fails due to missing distutils, but partial artifacts remain 3. setuptools gets installed successfully 4. Reconfigure CMake runs, but vcpkg reuses the failed glib build artifacts 5. glib still fails with 'ModuleNotFoundError: No module named distutils' ## The Solution Added a step to clean glib's buildtrees directory after installing setuptools and before reconfiguring CMake. This forces vcpkg to rebuild glib from scratch with the newly installed setuptools available. ## New Flow 1. Configure CMake (fails - glib can't build without distutils) 2. Install setuptools into vcpkg's Python 3. **Clean glib build artifacts** (new step) 4. Reconfigure CMake (glib rebuilds from scratch with setuptools) 5. Build continues successfully 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
The first CMake configure step can fail when glib attempts to build before setuptools is installed. Changed continue-on-error from conditional to always true for the initial configure step, allowing the workflow to proceed to setuptools installation and reconfiguration. This fixes the CI-Win-NoCUDA pipeline failure where the job was stopping after the first CMake configure error. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Python 3.12 removed the distutils module, causing glib build to fail with "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'". This fix creates a distutils compatibility shim that redirects distutils imports to setuptools._distutils, allowing glib and other packages to build successfully with Python 3.12. Changes: - Install setuptools via pip - Create distutils/__init__.py that imports from setuptools._distutils - Register distutils in sys.modules to redirect all imports 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add pre-configure setuptools installation step to handle cached Python from previous runs. This ensures distutils shim is available from the very first use of Python. Flow: 1. Pre-configure: Install setuptools if Python exists in cache 2. CMake configure: Downloads Python if not cached, may fail 3. Post-configure: Install setuptools for newly downloaded Python 4. Clean glib artifacts 5. Reconfigure: Should succeed with setuptools available This dual-installation approach handles both cached and fresh Python scenarios. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous approach of using Out-File with Append was creating incorrect Python syntax. This commit: - Uses PowerShell here-strings (@"..."@) to create multi-line content - Uses Set-Content instead of Out-File | Append for cleaner code - Adds distutils/version.py shim to handle import distutils.version 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

…onfigure The previous fix successfully created the distutils shim for the initial CMake configuration, and glib built successfully. However, after cleaning glib build artifacts and reconfiguring CMake, the build failed with the same distutils error. Root cause: The distutils shim needs to be verified and recreated before the reconfigure step to ensure it's always present when vcpkg rebuilds glib. Changes: - Add new "Verify and recreate distutils shim before reconfigure" step - This step runs after cleaning glib artifacts but before CMake reconfigure - Always recreates the shim directory and files to ensure they're fresh - Provides explicit logging for troubleshooting This ensures the distutils compatibility shim is always available when glib needs to be rebuilt, regardless of caching or cleanup operations. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
The pre-configure distutils shim installation is working successfully, allowing the first CMake configuration to complete without errors. The complex post-configure, clean, and reconfigure flow was causing additional failures and is not needed. Root cause analysis: - Pre-configure step successfully installs setuptools and creates distutils shim - First CMake configure builds glib successfully with the shim - Post-configure clean/reconfigure was attempting to rebuild glib but failing - Since first configure succeeds, no reconfiguration is necessary Changes: - Removed "Install setuptools for vcpkg's Python (post-configure)" step - Removed "Clean glib build artifacts" step - Removed "Verify and recreate distutils shim before reconfigure" step - Removed "Reconfigure CMake after installing setuptools" step - Kept only the working pre-configure distutils shim installation This simplifies the workflow and relies on the successful first-pass approach. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
