libpython3.3-dev: fatal error: pyconfig.h: No such file or directory

[IRIE Shinsuke]

Package: libpython3.3-dev 3.3.0-1

I attempted to build Blender trunk using python3.3-dev but got the following error:

[ 33%] Building C object source/blender/python/intern/CMakeFiles/bf_python.dir/gpu.c.o
In file included from /home/irie/Subversion/Blender/blender/source/blender/python/generic/bgl.c:38:0:
/usr/include/python3.3m/Python.h:8:22: fatal error: pyconfig.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Indeed, Python.h assumes that pyconfig.h is in the same directory but it is placed in /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/python3.3m on my 64bit system.
Multi-arch support is still incomplete.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Package maintainer in Debian considers this is Blender's bug. He said "Please use python3.3-config --include".

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

In Debian & Ubuntu python3.3 has multiple include locations.
In ubuntu we patched blender to support those.
And the patch is forwarded to Debian.
See patch at one of these locations:

Dmitrijs, I reported this problem in Blender developers ML and it was fiexed in trunk r51976, so your patch can be dropped in the future release (2.65+).

Anyway, thanks for the fix!

r51976 works only with amd64. r51984 should work with any architectures:
