RE: Building (again) on Debian Buster armhf/BeagleBone Black/Green/Gateway... #1075

Closed silver2row closed 3 years ago

Hello,

I am here: https://github.com/eclipse/mraa/blob/master/docs/building.md#basic-build-steps .

I am trying to understand this command:

sudo ln -s <your install prefix, e.g. /usr>/lib/python2.7/site-packages/* /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

I looked through my filesystem, Debian Buster on Linux, and have yet to see where /usr/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/ is located due to the /site-packages dir. not being located in that specific PATH.

I looked some more and found nothing. I know I am missing something here or it may be how my file system is set up.

Seth

P.S. Anyway, if you have time, the cmake, make, and sudo make install all built w/out severe error but I cannot figure out the ln -s command or where it needs to be located in the PATH.
