While compiling with up to date Archlinux I notice the recently added pylibmount does not link correctly. Failures inform fundamental types such as PyFileObject and PyFile_Type being missing. It seems automake AM_PATH_PYTHON will prefer the python in path, which for this distribution right now is python3. As some sort of go-around one can install older python, and symlink it to earlier in PATH lookup. $ ln -s /usr/bin/python2 $HOME/bin/python $ export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH Signed-off-by: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@xxxxxx> --- configure.ac | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 982606e..35e1eab 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -1387,6 +1387,12 @@ AS_IF([test "x$with_python" = xyes], [ ]) ]) +dnl FIXME: the python3 should be fixed in future. +AS_CASE([$PYTHON_VERSION], + [2.*], [], + [3.*], [AC_MSG_ERROR([pylibmount will not work with python3])], + [AC_MSG_ERROR([unanticipated python version])] +) UL_BUILD_INIT([pylibmount], [check]) UL_REQUIRES_HAVE([pylibmount], [python]) -- 1.8.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
