    In the cross-compilation case, setup.py incorrectly adds /usr/include to self.compiler.include_dirs, and results in the following invalid compilation line:

    cc1: warning: include location "/usr/include" is unsafe for cross-compilation [-Wpoison-system-directories]

    The -I/usr/include is wrong when cross compiling, so we disable adding INCLUDEDIR and LIBDIR from the host when cross compiling.

    Got the same issue here on building Python for Android. See https://circleci.com/gh/yan12125/python3-android/11 for an example build log. /usr/include is erroneously included and leads to build failures:

    The patch looks reasonable and still applies to the default branch. With this patch the build is fine: https://circleci.com/gh/yan12125/python3-android/12

    When cross compiling, setup.py must not look for headers in the directory for installing C header files and must not look for libraries in the directory for installing object code libraries of the _native_ interpreter which is being used to run setup.py.
    Thomas patch updated to the tip of the default branch.

    this assumption is wrong for the multiarch case.

    yan12125 mannequin commented Dec 10, 2016

    xdegaye's explanation is incorrect. The actual scene is much more complicated. First, let me explain why things may be broken. The wrong directory is included only if all of the following conditions are met:

    1. PYTHON_FOR_BUILD is not installed with --prefix=/usr. A common example is those which are installed with pyenv. This condition is here simply because of os.path.normpath(sys.base_prefix) != '/usr'
    2. The build script uses $DESTDIR convention to compile CPython
    3. Header files in $DESTDIR$PREFIX/include are not equivalent to $PREFIX/include. Here "equivalent" means they are for the same set of architecture/kernel/... This is a common case when cross compiling, while a famous exception is the multiarch framework on Debian-based systems.

    For example, if I use --prefix=/usr and DESTDIR=/tmp/python3-android/build, INCLUDEDIR will be /usr/include, which should not be included. On the other hand, if I use --prefix=/tmp/python3-android/build/usr and omit DESTDIR, INCLUDEDIR is correct /tmp/python3-android/build/usr/include. With $DESTDIR specified, the build script has the responsibility to specify $DESTDIR$PREFIX/include in CPPFLAGS, or CPython interpreter core won't even build, so skipping adding INCLUDEDIR in setup.py is safe. However, for the latter case (not using DESTDIR), the build script still needs to specify correct CPPFLAGS. I see it as a CPython limitation and worth documentation.

    For Debian's multiarch framework, paths are already handled by add_multiarch_paths(). I'm not sure whether $PREFIX/include should still be included or not. (I don't use Debian-based systems)

    > this assumption is wrong for the multiarch case.

    Please explain why it is wrong.

    Sadly no explanations have been given, we have to take Matthias word for it.
    This new patch updates the add_multiarch_paths() method and includes LIBDIR and INCLUDEDIR in their corresponding search paths for the multiarch case.

    Same patch, but this one is properly set to be handled by Rietveld.

    setup.py no longer used to build CPython since 3.12 (see #94474).
