Seemingly, kodi is selecting a different python version than indicated by PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET on its own, i.e., the cmake build system. Of course, the steps to discover this bug are obscure at best, i.e., I was cleaning up unused python versions while compiling kodi. But when uninstalling them later, I suspect the problem would still surface. Long story short, in the end the kodi compile failed with: ninja: error: '/usr/lib/libpython3.8.so', needed by 'kodi-x11', missing and no known rule to make it * ERROR: media-tv/kodi-19.0_alpha1::gentoo failed (compile phase): After reinstalling python:3.8, the compile could be resumed and merged. After installation, eix -e kodi showed: [I] media-tv/kodi Available versions: 18.7^t (~)18.7.1^t (~)18.8^t (~)19.0_alpha1^t **19.9999*l^t **9999*l^t {+X airplay alsa bluetooth bluray caps cec +css dbus dvd gbm gles lcms libressl libusb lirc mariadb mysql nfs +opengl pulseaudio raspberry-pi samba +system-ffmpeg systemd test (+)udev udf udisks upnp upower vaapi vdpau wayland webserver +xslt zeroconf KERNEL="linux" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="+python2_7 python3_6 python3_7 python3_8 python3_9"} Installed versions: 19.0_alpha1^t(12:19:28 08/15/20)(X airplay alsa bluetooth bluray caps cec css dbus dvd gles opengl samba system-ffmpeg udev udf udisks upnp upower vaapi vdpau webserver xslt zeroconf -gbm -lcms -libressl -libusb -lirc -mariadb -mysql -nfs -pulseaudio -raspberry-pi -systemd -test -wayland KERNEL="linux" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_7 -python3_6 -python3_8 -python3_9") Homepage: https://kodi.tv/ https://kodi.wiki/ Description: A free and open source media-player and entertainment hub I.e., it was supposedly built with python3_7 support. During the configure stage, cmake detects: -- Found PythonLibs: /usr/lib64/libpython3.8.so (found suitable version "3.8.5", minimum required is "3.5") -- Found Python: /usr/include/python3.8 although PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET is set to python3_7. Installed are python versions 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9. I don't know what the best approach to fix this would be. Of course, PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR and PYTHON_LIBRARY could be set in the ebuild's configure stage, but maybe there are already more potent helpers available? Reproducible: Always
