Trouble building with local Python installation - Problem with Python.h

wxPython Dev
1

Hi,

I am trying to build latest wxPython on my old Fedora 22 with locally built Python 2.7.13 (original is 2.7.10).

I have the failed to locate by build.py, Python.h on /opt/misc/Python-2.7.13/Include/ and I tried to pass to it, with:
export INCLUDE=/opt/misc/Python-2.7.13/Include/

``

Still having the error:

Well it actually find Python.h, but it fails to build. I attach the complete log, if someone could help me here.

Thanks.

Is Python actually installed at that location (with make install) or is that it’s build folder. If it is the install location and if you use that python executable when building (from your output below and the log
shows that you’re using /usr/local/bin/python2.7) then it should automatically locate the include folders and everything else it needs in
that prefix.

If you run build.py with /opt/misc/Python-2.7.13/bin/python then it will
target the same python for the build. You can also pass --python=/path/to/python if you need to run build.py with a different python than what you are targeting for some reason. (Not needed so much any more, but it was handy in the early days.)

Also, if you built that Python yourself, double check that you configured it with --enable-shared as waf’s configuration step on Linux is likely to fail if the shared lib is not present.
