I have hit a roadblock trying to build master with python3 I have a VM created with the 2.8 Buster ISO and changed the default python to python3. When I try to build master I get this in the terminal in the ./configure stage: checking python version... OK checking version of python libraries... python3.7m checking match between tk and Tkinter versions... 8.6 checking location of Python header files... /usr/include/python3.7m checking for Python headers... -I/usr/include/python3.7m checking for Python libraries... -lcrypt -lpthread -ldl -lutil checking whether the Boost::Python headers are available... yes checking for boost::python shared library... configure: error: boost::python is required to build LinuxCNC
The only reference to boost python I can find results in the following three packages which are all installed: buster:~ $ apt search libboost-python Sorting... Done Full Text Search... Done libboost-python-dev/stable,now 1.67.0.1 amd64 [installed] Boost.Python Library development files (default version) libboost-python1.67-dev/stable,now 1.67.0-13+deb10u1 amd64 [installed,automatic] Boost.Python Library development files libboost-python1.67.0/stable,now 1.67.0-13+deb10u1 amd64 [installed,automatic] Boost.Python Library I followed this procedure to check build dependencies and it passes this test: <http://linuxcnc.org/docs/master/html/code/building-linuxcnc.html#Satisfying-Build-Dependencies <http://linuxcnc.org/docs/master/html/code/building-linuxcnc.html#Satisfying-Build-Dependencies>> Actully in the ./configure uspace stage I had to edit debian/configure lines 79 & 80 to prevent syntax errors, from: PYTHON_VERSION=$(python -c 'import sys; print sys.version[:3]') PYTHON_VERSION_NEXT=$(python -c 'import sys; print sys.version[:2] + str(1+int(sys.version[2]))') To: PYTHON_VERSION=$(python -c 'import sys; print(sys.version[:3])') PYTHON_VERSION_NEXT=$(python -c 'import sys;print(sys.version[:2] + str(1+int(sys.version[2])))') I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
