How can I solve this situation?
It shouldn't actually be required. I'm assuming the problem is while trying to run asdlgen.py. The generated files are checked in, but the timestamps are wrong and the Makefile is trying to be helpful. Try: touch Include/Python-ast.h Python/Python-ast.c make I believe those are the two files that are generated. If not, try posting the error message.
