Hi all,

I've been cross-compiling Python3.4.1, but I have a issue than is following:

_PYTHON_PROJECT_BASE=/home/aphillips/work/leo368-20141008/fs/apps/python-3.4.1/arm _PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM=linux-arm PYTHONPATH=../src/Lib:../src/Lib/plat-linux  -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: -S: command not found
generate-posix-vars failed
make[1]: *** [pybuilddir.txt] Error 1

If who knows about that, could you help me.

Best regards.

You should have gotten error by:
AC_MSG_ERROR([python$PACKAGE_VERSION interpreter not found])

Have you applied any changes in Python (e.g. in configure.ac)?

Yes, I applied a patch in the configure for than it can make the configuration.

And to see that message you need to rerun ./configure before running make.  Have you just updated to Python 3.4.2?  There were some changes in this area that might have inadvertently affected cross-compiles (in particular, Issue21166).

What changes exactly have you made in Python?

Ned Deil,

For my application I need to use Python 3.4.1 and Why do I need to run the ./configure for second time?.

The "generate-posix-vars failed" message you show is not in Python 3.4.1; it was added recently by e52d85f2e284 for Issue21166 and is first released in 3.4.2.  So it's hard to tell exactly what you are building with.

I added a patch for the resolution of the issue but it didn't work. You can see in my first comment than there is a issue with PYTHONPATH, Do you know why happen that.

Have you received "configure: error: python3.4 interpreter not found" error before your changes?

There has been no followup in over 6 years, so I am closing. If you are still having this problem with a current python version, please create a new issue.
