Hi, When compiling Python in a path which contains $BUILD_SYS (typically "x86_64-linux"), then Python fails to build with the following error:

Is there a easy fix for this? As a workaround, making sure that the user does not build in a directory which contains $BUILD_SYS would already be helpful, e.g. # Check if $BUILDDIR contains the string $BUILD_SYS if [ "${BUILDDIR/${BUILD_SYS}//}" != "$BUILDDIR" ]; then bberror "Python can not be built in a directory which contains the BUILD_SYS string." fi -- Stefan -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
