"FSL gnome release package" build fails at python build stage

[Robb1z]

Hello,

I am trying to build a minimal gnome environment using the "FSL gnome release package" build option in ltib.

However, my build is failing at the python build stage.  I did some digging and found a similar problem with fontconfig but attempting to apply the solution to my python.spec proved unsuccessful.

Here is the relevant output:

Failed building python

That did it...

Would love to know what that means because I came across it again while cross-compiling some custom applications and a 'make clean' didn't solve it... but I'll settle for a workaround for now!

Thanks Jorge.

I just tried to reproduce the problem executing the above command but the issue was not present; I believe you found it when just running './ltib'

./ltib -m prep -p python && ./ltib -m scbuild -p python

I am not sure why the make clean solves the issues. Perhaps adding this extra command on the python spec can avoid this, not sure.

Hi I had the same problem, I never knew why it failed.
The solution is to go to the folder were Python was being build and do a 'make clean', then you can run ltib again and see it compile it without problems.

Thank you.
