Hi I am trying to compile Python 3.6.1 on macOS 10.12.5 with xcode 8.8.3 using the instructions at https://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html#build-dependencies but I am getting the error
./python.exe -E -S -m sysconfig --generate-posix-vars ;\ if test $? -ne 0 ; then \ echo "generate-posix-vars failed" ; \ rm -f ./pybuilddir.txt ; \ exit 1 ; \ fi /bin/sh: line 1: 96973 Killed: 9 ./python.exe -E -S -m sysconfig --generate-posix-vars generate-posix-vars failed make: *** [pybuilddir.txt] Error 1 When I manually run that command using dbll I get: lldb ./python.exe -- -E -S -m sysconfig --generate-posix-vars (lldb) target create "./python.exe" Current executable set to './python.exe' (x86_64).
