cyphesis can't be build with python 2.7

[Piotr]

I can't build cyphesis with python2.7 configure script returns error(Cannot find python headers for Python 2.2 or later).
Simple string replace in configure.ac from 2.6->2.7 don't help.

[Al Riddoch (alriddoch)]

Can you try the patch below which should add 2.7 to the list of versions it checks for?

If it doesn't work can you let me know the specific error you are getting, and attach a copy of your config.log to this bug? Please also include details of the OS you are building on.

[Piotr (elminister)]

Now configure script is executing properly.
But compilation process throws an error.

Builded with python 2.7.3
OS: archlinux
gcc: latest
cyphesis version: downloaded a few minutes ago from via git.

make log in attachment

[Al Riddoch (alriddoch)]

This error is unrelated to Python.

Current cyphesis git head needs latest Mercator git head to build as there is a new feature in development.

Please let me know if you fix the issue by using Mercator git head so I know whether to commit the Python fix.

[Piotr (elminister)]

Ok issue with mercator fixed. New errors however.

[Al Riddoch (alriddoch)]

I'm not sure what is going on there. Can you send me a translation of the error message: "Okrężna dyrektywa buildid.cpp <- buildid.cpp porzucona"

It may just be a warning about circular dependencies, but I need to check. Can you also attach the server/buildid.cpp file from your build to this bug? Can you also make sure your build log captures the full commandline for the step that fails, not just the stderr output. It's hard to tell but I think your log only includes stderr.

[Piotr (elminister)]

Okreżna dyrektywa buildid.cpp <- buildid.cpp przucona circular
translation:
 directive buildid.cpp <- buildid.cpp abandoned / left alone.

So your guess was correct.

[Piotr (elminister)]

this is the stout for build.log

make[2]: Okrężna dyrektywa buildid.cpp <- buildid.cpp porzucona.
Getting GIT buildid from number of ChangeLog commits
/usr/bin/env: python: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
make[2]: *** [buildid.cpp] Błąd 127
make[2]: *** Oczekiwanie na niezakończone zadania....
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Błąd 1
make: *** [all] Błąd 2

Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu- there is no such file or directory
Błąd = error
Oczekiwanie na niezakończone zadania...= waiting for not-finished tasks
I don't attach buildid.cpp beacause it is blank.

[Piotr (elminister)]

Ok i know why there is a message /usr/bin/env: python: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
in my OS (archlinux) there are 3 python packaged:
python (python2.6 with executable named python)
python2 (python2.7 with exec named python2)
python3(obvious)
i maked the symlink /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2 executable and now bugs are diffirent

[Al Riddoch (alriddoch)]

The errors you are now getting are the same as earlier. You need to remove the empty buildid.cpp file that was created when the script could not find python, and allow the build to generate a new one.

[Piotr (elminister)]

success

[Al Riddoch (alriddoch)]

Hooray!

I'll apply the patch to the master branch tomorrow, and it'll be included in the next release.
