Comment 8 Adrian Schollmeyer 2022-11-06 09:45:05 UTC

meson looks for python using dependency(python_opt, ...) where python_opt is whatever is specified after -Dwith-python=. This fails when specifying -Dwith-python=${EPYTHON} (or even when manually specifying -Dwith-python=python3.10, for example). I still need to figure out how to tell meson which Python version to use.
