hplip-3.18.12-9 fails to build with Python 3.8. It seems that for some reason the configure script can't find Python.h:

Hi Charis!

Thank you for reporting the issue! I was on PTO last two weeks, so I was not able to get it done. Hope it did not block someone...

From config.log:

configure:13745: checking python3.8/Python.h usability
configure:13745: gcc -c -g -O2  conftest.c >&5
In file included from /usr/include/python3.8/pystate.h:129,
                 from /usr/include/python3.8/traceback.h:8,
                 from /usr/include/python3.8/Python.h:117,
                 from conftest.c:67:
/usr/include/python3.8/cpython/pystate.h:9:10: fatal error: cpython/coreconfig.h: No such file or directory
    9 | #include "cpython/coreconfig.h"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
configure:13745: $? = 1

In my local F29 machine:
$ dnf repoquery --whatprovides *cpython/coreconfig.h
python38-0:3.8.0~a3-1.fc29.i686
python38-0:3.8.0~a3-1.fc29.x86_64
python38-debugsource-0:3.8.0~a3-1.fc29.i686
python38-debugsource-0:3.8.0~a3-1.fc29.x86_64

In mock chroot:
<mock-chroot> -bash-5.0# rpm -q python3
python3-3.8.0~a4-1.fc31.x86_64
<mock-chroot> -bash-5.0# rpm -q python38
package python38 is not installed

It seems like an include for header from python38-devel package got lost in header file from python3-devel package. Reassigning to python team, IMO it is issue in python.

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2019-05-15 13:41:58 UTC
The build failure is from our copr with updated python3 package: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.8/ - a work in progress copr for Fedora 31 change.

$ dnf repoquery --repo=python3.8 --whatprovides *cpython/coreconfig.h
python3-debug-0:3.8.0~a4-1.fc31.x86_64
python3-debugsource-0:3.8.0~a4-1.fc31.x86_64
python3-devel-0:3.8.0~a4-1.fc31.x86_64

$ dnf repoquery --repo=python3.8 -l python3-devel | grep cpython/coreconfig.h
/usr/include/python3.8/cpython/coreconfig.h


> It seems like an include for header from python38-devel package got lost in header file from python3-devel package.

I don't really understand what does this mean. I think hplib does some configure-fu that is no longer valid for Python 3.8.

Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2019-05-15 14:02:15 UTC
How do I get the config.log?

Comment 4 Miro Hrončok 2019-05-15 14:07:37 UTC
Never mind, found it:

| #include <python3.8/Python.h>
configure:13745: result: no
configure:13745: checking python3.8/Python.h presence
configure:13745: gcc -E  conftest.c
In file included from /usr/include/python3.8/pystate.h:129,
                 from /usr/include/python3.8/traceback.h:8,
                 from /usr/include/python3.8/Python.h:117,
                 from conftest.c:34:
/usr/include/python3.8/cpython/pystate.h:9:10: fatal error: cpython/coreconfig.h: No such file or directory
    9 | #include "cpython/coreconfig.h"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
configure:13745: $? = 1





Note that the following is not supposed to work:

#include <python3.8/Python.h>

And hence it is a terrible idea to check from a configure script: 

Instead, do this:

Set -I /usr/include/python3.8 and do:

#include <Python.h>

Comment 5 Miro Hrončok 2019-05-15 14:12:46 UTC
Bad:

$ cat bad.c 
#include <python3.8/Python.h>
$ gcc -c bad.c 
In file included from /usr/include/python3.8/pystate.h:129,
                 from /usr/include/python3.8/traceback.h:8,
                 from /usr/include/python3.8/Python.h:117,
                 from bad.c:1:
/usr/include/python3.8/cpython/pystate.h:9:10: fatal error: cpython/coreconfig.h: Adresář nebo soubor neexistuje
    9 | #include "cpython/coreconfig.h"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
$ 

Better:

$ cat good.c
#include <Python.h>
$ gcc -I/usr/include/python3.8 -c good.c 
$ 

The best:

$ cat good.c
#include <Python.h>
$ gcc $(python3.8-config --includes) -c good.c
$

I used python3-config, is it ok?

No, I mean to do it this way.

Sure!

Do you mean use python3-config in configure script? I understood you suggest to run python3-config in spec file and output put into CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS.

Comment 11 Miro Hrončok 2019-05-17 10:09:56 UTC
I suggest that running ggc without include flags on this:

    #include <python3.8/Python.h>

Is not supposed to work.

Comment 12 Zdenek Dohnal 2019-05-17 12:13:57 UTC
Fixed in https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=34892600 by adding python includedir into CFLAGS+CXXFLAGS in spec file.
