Public bug reported: While trying to compile GXSM3 (see gxsm.sf.net and my ppa thorwag/gxsm) on a Ubuntu 20.04 I ran into some unexpected problems, which are related to the package libpython3.8-dev (3.8.2-1ubuntu1.1). To make the story short: Please change in /usr/include/python3.8/cpython/pystate.h line 9 from #include "cpython/initconfig.h" to #include "initconfig.h". Initconfig.h is in the same folder as pystate.h which might cause the problem.
Obviously files have been rearranged between python3.7 (available from deadsnakes ppa) and the recent release for Ubuntu as I was able to compile GXSM3 with the older library (and with Ubuntu 18.04) Without changing this line, gcc is not finding definitions like Py_single_input and so on. autoconf.sh (of GXSM3) give as output: checking for main in -lpython3.8... yes checking python3.8/Python.h usability... no checking python3.8/Python.h presence... no checking for python3.8/Python.h... no checking for main in -lpython3.8m... no checking python3.8m/Python.h usability... no checking python3.8m/Python.h presence... no checking for python3.8m/Python.h... no After applying the patch it reports: checking for main in -lpython3.8... yes checking python3.8/Python.h usability... yes checking python3.8/Python.h presence... yes checking for python3.8/Python.h... yes checking for main in -lpython3.8m... no checking python3.8m/Python.h usability... no checking python3.8m/Python.h presence... no checking for python3.8m/Python.h... no and the compiler can do the job without any error.
