#55 Error compiling in Linux (related to Python/waf)

[Anonymous]

Hello there,

Just moved to Fedora 35 and tried to get quake2xp compiled. I installed the necessary dependencies, ran with both python and python 3 commands, but got the following error:

[XXXX@XXXX quake2xp-code]$ python3 waf configure --prefix=$HOME/local
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/home/XXXX/Desktop/quake2xp-code/.waf3-1.6.11-7f6ceaf1c97a615dd46ffdaefeb252af/waflib/Node.py", line 285, in ant_iter
   raise StopIteration
StopIteration

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

The issue is resolved by installing waf from the Fedora repo and running the comman waf configre (minus python).

Thus this issue can be closed (thanks @przenziu).
