Description yegle 2011-09-13 15:25:13 UTC 
The configure script in newt-0.52.13 cannot recognize python version correctly.

code snipplet ( about line 142 in configure.ac )

if test "x$with_python" = "xno"; then
  AC_MSG_RESULT([skipped])
  PYTHONVERS=
else
  PYTHONVERS=$(ls /usr/include/python*/Python.h 2> /dev/null | sed "s|/usr/include/||g"| sed "s|/Python.h||g" 2> /dev/null)
  AC_MSG_RESULT([$PYTHONVERS])
fi

If I have multiple python directory under /usr/include/, for example:
$ ls /usr/include/python* -d
/usr/include/python2.5  /usr/include/python2.6  /usr/include/python2.7

The configure result would be:

checking for python versions... python2.5
python2.6
python2.7
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating libnewt.pc
config.status: creating config.h

make PYTHONVERS=python2.7 
Makefile:16: *** missing separator.  Stop.

How do you think of this patch? Seems working here.
Comment 2 Miroslav Lichvar 2011-11-10 16:25:43 UTC 
Fixed in git. Thanks.

I've also limited the version to 2.*, as it doesn't compile with python3.0 yet.
