Alexey Izbyshev <izbys...@ispras.ru> added the comment:
The in-tree copy of libffi was removed in #27979 (between 3.6 and 3.7) for all platforms except Windows and macOS. Therefore, you need libffi development package installed in your system to build CPython 3.7. As for PIP, personally, I think that's an overkill to require ctypes, especially at CPython build time. If you don't want to build ctypes, I believe you may use '--without-ensurepip' configure option as a workaround. ---------- nosy: +izbyshev, zach.ware _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35170> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
