Toolchain build fails on ArchLinux host due to Python path

johnlane commented 11 years ago

Having just tried to build toolchain with crosstool-ng on an x86_64 ArchLinux machine, I found that it fails on the step Installing cross-gdb due to the wrong Python being used:

[INFO ]  Installing cross-gdb
[ERROR]    configure: error: failure running python-config --includes

The error is a syntax difference between Python2 and 3. I could not work out how to configure the toolchain build to use the correct python path. To get around this I disabled the debug tools in the config until I can find the correct solution:

#   
# Debug facilities
#   
# CT_DEBUG_dmalloc is not set 
# CT_DEBUG_duma is not set 
#CT_DEBUG_gdb=y
#CT_GDB_CROSS=y
# CT_GDB_CROSS_STATIC is not set 
# CT_GDB_CROSS_SIM is not set 
#CT_GDB_CROSS_PYTHON=y
#CT_GDB_CROSS_EXTRA_CONFIG_ARRAY=""
# CT_GDB_NATIVE is not set 
#CT_GDB_GDBSERVER=y
#CT_GDB_GDBSERVER_STATIC=y

@johnlane is this still an issue?

don't know, I've move on to other things since then. If I get some time I will take a look...
