New comment by szhorvat on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/40224#issuecomment-1297233806 Comment: Note that SuiteSparse is no longer a dependency of igraph since version 0.10. flex and bison are only needed if you are trying to build the development version from the git repo. If you build from the release archive, as you are doing now, they are not needed. python3 is only needed if building the docs. The docs are already included in the release archive, so if you want to install them, you can just copy the `doc` folder directly, no need to build anything. Regarding rankwidth: igraph 0.10 is not API-compatible with 0.9. Some very significant changes have been made, so basically every dependency will need source changes. rankwidth seems to be lucky in that a single very minor change allows it to build, see https://sourceforge.net/p/rankwidth/tickets/2/
