…ompatibility Python 3.12+ no longer includes setuptools in newly created virtual environments. The webapp-stage-ifctester-wheel target builds a wheel using 'python -m build --wheel --no-isolation', which requires the setuptools.build_meta backend to be available in the venv. On Python 3.11 this works because --system-site-packages pulls in setuptools from the system installation. On Python 3.12 and 3.13 setup tools is not present, causing: ERROR Backend 'setuptools.build_meta' is not available. make[1]: *** [Makefile:98: webapp-stage-ifctester-wheel] Error 1 Fix by explicitly installing setuptools alongside build.

The
webapp-stage-ifctester-wheeltarget insrc/ifctester/Makefilefails when building with Python 3.12 or 3.13:Python 3.12 changed the behaviour of
python -m venv: new virtual environments no longer includesetuptoolsby default (PEP 668, CPython issue #95299).The target uses
--no-isolation, meaningpython -m buildexpects thesetuptools.build_metabackend to already be present in the venv. On Python 3.11 this works because--system-site-packagesinheritssetuptoolsfrom the system interpreter. On Python 3.12+ the system interpreter no longer shipssetuptoolsby default in venvs either, so the backend is simply absent.Fix
