Benny K J added the comment: To eliminate the issues introduced by the native python on the Ubuntu 16.04 host, I've set up a new Ubuntu Host with all the native python packages removed.
But now when I try to build the make fails saying: arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -shared -L/home/ubuntu/workspace/toolchain/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/../arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc/usr/lib -Wl,--no-as-needed -o libpython3.so -Wl,-hlibpython3.so libpython3.5m.so arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -L/home/ubuntu/workspace/toolchain/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/../arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc/usr/lib -Xlinker -export-dynamic -o python Programs/python.o -L. -lpython3.5m -lpthread -ldl -lpthread -lutil -lm _PYTHON_PROJECT_BASE=/home/ubuntu/workspace/python/Python-3.5.2 _PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM=linux-arm PYTHONPATH=./Lib:./Lib/plat-linux python -S -m sysconfig --generate-posix-vars ;\ if test $? -ne 0 ; then \ echo "generate-posix-vars failed" ; \ rm -f ./pybuilddir.txt ; \ exit 1 ; \ fi /bin/sh: 1: python: not found generate-posix-vars failed Makefile:598: recipe for target 'pybuilddir.txt' failed make: *** [pybuilddir.txt] Error 1 Looking at the configure.log it complains of missing python as well: python: not-found! cannot run $(srcdir)/Parser/asdl_c.py Could you please comment if it is not possible to build python3 without first installing a native python on the build machine? Maybe I have not set all the options to the ./configure correctly (e.g _PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28444> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
