libpst fails to build with Python 3.9.0a2: checking for python build information... checking for python3.8... no checking for python3.7... no checking for python3.6... no checking for python3.5... no checking for python3.3... no checking for python3.2... no checking for python3.1... no checking for python3.0... no checking for python2.7... no checking for python2.6... no checking for python2.5... no checking for python2.4... no checking for python2.3... no checking for python2.2... no checking for python2.1... no checking for python... no results of the Python check: Binary: no Library: no Include Dir: no configure: error: python binary not found It seems the configure script has a harcoded list of Python versions and it misses 3.9. For the build logs, see: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.9/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/01148537-libpst/ For all our attempts to build libpst with Python 3.9, see: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.9/package/libpst/ Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.9: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.9/ Let us know here if you have any questions. Python 3.9 will be included in Fedora 33. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with early pre-releases of Python 3.9. A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon. We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 32 development cycle. Changing version to 32.
Carl, could you please have look and report this upstream if needed? Thanks.
libpst-0.6.75-1.fc33 should fix it. The m4/ax_python.m4 has a list of python versions.
Indeed. Thanks.
