gdb version too old - needs python2.7 #1353

Open anm opened 7 months ago

anm commented 7 months ago

I can't run esp32 gdb because python2.7 is too old for my OS. Installing the latest version direct from espressif works.

I've seen other people encountering this problem on platformio forums too.

Jason2866 commented 7 months ago

I have nowhere an issue not using python v2.7 with GDB

calint commented 6 months ago

Same problem in Ubuntu 24.04.

arduhe commented 6 months ago

I would really appreciate if this could be fixed soon. This ancient version of python2 - support for Python 2 ended Jan. 1, 2020 see announcement on python.org - may be a security risk.

Jason2866 commented 6 months ago

What is the exact issue? What command is not working without Python2?

gdb is linked dynamically against V2 of libpython. Several distros do no longer offer V2 - so you have either to install it manuallly - as I did longer ago (and forgot that fact until today 😉) - or you get an error message due to the missing lib.

I saw in the meantime that @valeros has upgraded the python version in CI to 3.9 - so I am little bit optimistic that the next release fixes this isuue

Jason2866 commented 6 months ago

Ahh, you are using the old version

arduhe commented 6 months ago

Not voluntary 😆

calint commented 6 months ago

I am using the latest PlatformIO (6.1.15) and have the same issue.

The Python 2 library that is no longer available in Ubuntu 24.04.

It's even worse - xtensa-esp32s3-elf-gdb shows unsurprisingly the same behaviour

ldd ~/.platformio/packages/toolchain-xtensa-esp32s3/bin/xtensa-esp32s3-elf-gdb

        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007fe698002000)

        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fe698123000)

But if I install the missed library manually (and nothing else from python2.7) the linkage error disappears but instead a - at a first glance - strange python error occurs

This is IMHO due to missing support of python2.7 on my system.

I was able to reproduce this behavior under 3 different distributions/installations

For those who are waiting like me for a solution of this issue - in the meantime I've found a workaround described here - nevertheless it would be REALLY fine, if the support for PYTHON3 would be pushed forward ...

Debian Bookworm is in the same club...

mplogas commented 1 month ago

Will the updated esp32s3 gdb libraries added to platformio in the foreseeable future or is using the files from the esp-idf toolchain the only option for now?
