Python-2.7.6 make error while installing SDK V2.0-1207 (QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto)

[dooggy]

Hi there,

I am trying to install SDK V2.0_1207 on host machine (Ubuntu26.04).

SDK2.0 and SDK V2.0-1703  were successfully installed in QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto directory.

The next step I should follow is to set up Host Environment.

But in the very next step,I was met fatal error while trying to run  'make' in Python-2.7.6 directory.

$ wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/Python-2.7.6.tar.xz
[NOTE: Python 2.7.3 and python 2.7.5 can be used as well.]
$ tar -xf Python-2.7.6.tar.xz
$ cd Python-2.7.6
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/python-2.7.6
$ make
$ sudo make install

I succeeded in  ./configure --prefix=/opt/python-2.7.6.

But in the next step where I executed 'make',I got fatal error which said

 fatal error: rpc/rpc.h: No such file or directory
   17 | #include <rpc/rpc.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.




Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found:
_bsddb             _sqlite3           _ssl
_tkinter           bsddb185           bz2
dbm                dl                 gdbm
imageop            readline           sunaudiodev
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.

I do not have any hint to fix it.

Please give me any idea to handle it.

Thanks a  lot

Yocto Project can work on most recent Linux distributions with Python-2.7.3 or greater.

On Ubuntu 16.04, Python 2.7.12 is integrated, so no need to install python 2.7.6 manually.

Hi, yipingwang

Thank you for your concern.

The vesion of Python on Ubutu20.04 is 3.8.10  as shown in the following  snapshot.

But it seems like  that  the command in fsl-setup-env  wants python to be called, not python3 which is integrated in Ubuntu20.04.

vm2004@ubuntu:~/QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto$ . ./fsl-setup-env -m ls1043ardb
Configuring for ls1043ardb ...
/home/vm2004/QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto/build_ls1043ardb was created before.
Command 'python' not found, did you mean:
  command 'python3' from deb python3
  command 'python' from deb python-is-python3
BitBake requires Python 2.7.3 or later
Back to build project /home/vm2004/QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto/build_ls1043ardb.
Nothing is changed.
vm2004@ubuntu:~/QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto/sources/poky$ python --version

Command 'python' not found, did you mean:

  command 'python3' from deb python3
  command 'python' from deb python-is-python3

vm2004@ubuntu:~/QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto/sources/poky$ python3 --version
Python 3.8.10
vm2004@ubuntu:~/QorIQ-SDK-V2.0-20160527-yocto/sources/poky$ 

Pls let me know what to do.

Best regards and thanks

QorIQ SDK 2.0 doesn't work on Ubutu20.04.

Please install it on Ubuntu 16.04.

It all works on Ubuntu14.04.6.

Not working on any other distribution with python version not being 2.7.x.

Thanks,
