👋 Hi! Thank you for contributing to the vLLM project.

💬 Join our developer Slack at https://slack.vllm.ai to discuss your PR in #pr-reviews, coordinate on features in #feat- channels, or join special interest groups in #sig- channels.

Just a reminder: PRs would not trigger full CI run by default. Instead, it would only run fastcheck CI which starts running only a small and essential subset of CI tests to quickly catch errors. You can run other CI tests on top of those by going to your fastcheck build on Buildkite UI (linked in the PR checks section) and unblock them. If you do not have permission to unblock, ping simon-mo or khluu to add you in our Buildkite org.

Once the PR is approved and ready to go, your PR reviewer(s) can run CI to test the changes comprehensively before merging.

To run CI, PR reviewers can either: Add ready label to the PR or enable auto-merge.

🚀

Hmm, overall LGTM.
But actually in the CPU docker image python-dev is not required, everything worked well with normal python. Perhaps the error is also due to some other environment problems such as CMake version.

Hmm, exactly, I don't have python-dev installed in my cpu-environment too. I suspect the root issue caused by camke refer to #5671 (comment)

Hm, I can consistently repro this error with cmake==4.0.0. I'm using Ubuntu Noble CPU-only with uv venv. I followed the instructions exactly in https://docs.vllm.ai/en/stable/getting_started/installation/cpu.html#build-wheel-from-source.

Installing python3-dev is the only thing I've found that fixes it, but maybe I'm missing something?

Looks like both fastcheck/pr and fastcheck/pr/docker-build-image checks failed because of unrelated upstream apt package server timeouts. Retrigger?
