Re: [Xen-devel] Compiling Xen error on RedHat8.0

Hi Anthony,

Both " PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 " and softlink "python-config" to 
"python2-config" work well, thanks a lot!


Thanks,
Fan

If you're building a release of Xen, then you could try setting
PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 everywhere, that is when starting configure and make, 
something like:

$ ./configure PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 ...
$ make PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 ...

If you are building from the unstable tree, I think we fixed most of those bugs 
relating to python2/python3.

Is that help?

About the soft link "python" to "python2", you would need a softlink 
"python-config" to "python2-config" as well and the "checking for 
PyArg_ParseTuple" is more likely to succeed.

Cheers,
