Description Charalampos Stratakis 2019-05-30 23:50:09 UTC

libpeas does not link anymore to libpython with Python 3.8 so it FTBFS.


From python 3.8 changelog [0]:

On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython except on Android and Cygwin. It is now possible for a statically linked Python to load a C extension built using a shared library Python.

To embed Python into an application, a new --embed option must be passed to python3-config --libs --embed to get -lpython3.8 (link the application to libpython). To support both 3.8 and older, try python3-config --libs --embed first and fallback to python3-config --libs (without --embed) if the previous command fails.
