Cannot install Pillow 8.2.0 via pip on FreeBSD

[frozenpandaman]

I can't install Pillow 8.2.0 via pip on FreeBSD 12.2. Installing 8.1.2 in the same manner still works fine.

In a new, fresh virtualenv, running pip install pillow gives the following (extremely long) error:
https://pastebin.com/5QeRLjb9

The error ends with "error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1" and "ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1" (in case this helps anyone Googling it in the future…)

Installing wheel (v0.36.2, to avoid the "Using legacy 'setup.py install' for pillow, since package 'wheel' is not installed." warning) doesn't solve it.

I'm using Python 3.8.9 and pip 21.1.3.

Thanks!

If you're interested, you could try installing it from a package rather than through pip - https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=py38-pillow&stype=all&sektion=all

Thanks! I saw this section of the docs too and unfortunately it seems my shared hosting doesn't give me permission to install packages via pkg:

$ pkg install py38-pillow-8.2.0
pkg: Insufficient privileges to install packages

Searching for "error" in the provided output shows the cause is:

  src/_imagingft.c:280:60: error: token is not a valid binary operator in a preprocessor subexpression
  #if !defined(RAQM_VERSION_ATLEAST) || !RAQM_VERSION_ATLEAST(0, 7, 0)
                                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
  1 error generated.

This should be solved by #5462 in Pillow 8.3.0 due to release on July 1.

You can also try updating Raqm to 0.7.0 or later, or disabling it with pip install Pillow --global-option build_ext --global-option --disable-raqm.

Thanks a ton! That worked, and glad to know it'll be fixed in 8.3.0 releasing very soon. :) I'll close this for now, then.
