AX_PYTHON_DEVEL cross-compilation

[Bartosz Gołaszewski]

Hello,

I'm using AX_PYTHON_DEVEL to setup the environment for building the
python bindings (C extensions) for a C library. It works fine until I
try to cross-compile it (either within Buildroot environment or using
the SDK generated by yocto).

The exact error I'm getting is:

configure: error:
Could not link test program to Python. Maybe the main Python library has been
installed in some non-standard library path. If so, pass it to configure,
via the LIBS environment variable.
Example: ./configure LIBS="-L/usr/non-standard-path/python/lib"
============================================================================
ERROR!
You probably have to install the development version of the Python package
for your distribution. The exact name of this package varies among them.
============================================================================

I'm seeing that in the yocto SDK libpython3.5m.so.1.0 exists both in
the target and host sysroots.

Any advice on what I'm doing wrong?

Hi,

I am afraid I have not the needed knowledge to answer your question.
I will let the others do it.

Best,

Rafael
