See #1410; we no longer need Python 2, so that shouldn't be an issue anymore. I haven't tested it myself, but Darling should build on Debian 12.

As a follow-up to issue #1410, I've mitigated the python2 dependency issue and ended up with this at the very end:

@facekapow sorry for ping, but just in case it was to be missed, I think the issue needs to be reopened :/

I would suggest considering having a CI build for latest Debian too so this could be avoided in the future after that's fixed (I see many projects on GitHub compiling for all possible targets), perhaps with some build cache so the rebuild doesn't always take that much CI minutes

Actually gonna upload the whole log since I think the actual error is concealed somewhere above:
darling_build_log.txt

Edit: ughh, it actually might appear that clang was killed due to Out-of-Memory. Is there some way to limit the amount of threads used for compilation down from 32?

Edit2: Sorry for the fuss, it seems it indeed compiled with a bit more memory assigned to the VM (needed around 18 GB)

Edit3: However I seem to have issues installing the .debs, they all seem to cross-conflict with each other, now II keep getting errors about IOSurface library misisng when opening the shell (previously something about X11). I don't have X11 installed at all though. And it seems that trying to create files in /tmp fails due to permission denied, idk if that's normal but it prevents Brew from installing...
