I cannot compile mate-menus with GCC 7.1.0 on Cross Linux from Scratch 20170702 x86_64 multilib (64-bit version) #52

Expected behaviour

python/matemenu.c gets compiled properly by make command

Actual behaviour

Several compile ERRORS are thrown

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

configure log https://hastebin.com/abapiyuwis.makefile
make install log https://hastebin.com/nepojefujo.swift configured with LIBSOUP_LIBS=/usr/lib64 \ ACLOCAL_FLAG=/usr/share/aclocal/ CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" \ CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}" USE_ARCH=64 \ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64} sh autogen.sh --prefix=/usr \ --libdir=/usr/lib64 --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-static \ --localstatedir=/var --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin \ --datadir=/usr/share/doc

make command is:

USE_ARCH=64 CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" make LIBDIR=/usr/lib64 PREFIX=/usr

Obvious workaround that fixes this is passing --disable-python, but of course I dont want that to be my permanent solution

Is the explanation maybe that I am using Python 3.6 on my system ONLY? Does mate-menu need 2.7? Then on the other hand that would probably not explain compile errors in C code.

Installation of Python 2.7.13 with multilib patch from gentoo fixed it for me. Would be nice to now if you guys plan to support Python 3.6 or even have a patch for that.

Yes, it's for Python 2. Someday we'll drop these legacy bindings and add GObject introspection support, like it's already done in other projects.
