[libhid-discuss] Configuration issue on SuSE 11.3

[Robert Warner]

Hi,

How do I solve this issue?

Thanks in advance

checking for Python library path... /usr/lib64/python2.7/config/libpython2.7.so
checking for Python site-packages path... /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
checking python extra libraries...? -lpthread -ldl? -lutil
checking python extra linking flags... -Xlinker -export-dynamic
checking consistency of all components of python development environment... no
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 LDFLAGS environment variable.
? Example: ./configure LDFLAGS="-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.

Unclear. Possibly you can disable python support in libhid as a
workaround. Look for suitable options in output from configure --help

If you installed Python via RPM, is python-devel installed?

Or, as Peter suggested, you should be able to disable Python support by passing the appropriate flags to ./configure.

Tried -disable-python, -disable-Python and -disable-PYTHON.? None worked.? Not sure why python is being used in this libhid, must be some sort of setup issue with the compile processing, no idea.? Looks like python is necessary for the build process to function correctly.?


Seems there has never been a definitive answer to the problem in the past either, looking through previous archives on the web.? Unless i missed the solution somewhere, which is possible.

Hi All,

I am wrong, python was not needed and the method of 'disabling' python is non-obvious. It needs to be disabled by disabling 'swig', which is also non-obvious as --help does not list --disable-swig as an option.

./configure --disable-swig &&
su
make install

appears to works just fine.
