Comment 1 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-08-11 14:21:15 UTC

Note that it's calling 'python'. 'python' here for me is Python 3.11.

Now, if I do EPYTHON=python3.10 aarch64_be-unknown-linux-gnu-emerge -v1 dev-lang/python:3.10, it works!

So, we need a CBUILD Python which is the same version, apparently. Or at least not newer, but I'm guessing we actually do need the same version?

(Note that we've already implemented this logic for Python 3.11.)
Comment 3 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-08-11 14:28:05 UTC
We can set PYTHON_FOR_BUILD.

    dev-lang/python: disable _ctypes, _crypt for cross (CBUILD) Python
    
    * Use a hack to deduce libdir to nudge the build system in the right
      direction because get_libdir can't handle BROOT/CBUILD right now.
    
    * Disable _ctypes (libffi) and _crypt (lib(x)crypt) modules for cross (CBUILD)
      Python as they're not needed and Python struggles to find the libraries
      correctly.
    
      This avoids an issue where setup.py can't handle deducing libdir
      (or even being passed it) for cross-compilation. Fortunately, cpython
      is migrating away from setup.py to autotools.
    
    Note that this isn't the same as what bug 633712 would've been at the time
    it was reported, but it certainly showed up the same way on more modern
    Pythons since we introduced the CBUILD part a few months ago.
