Bug ID: 107233 Summary: gm2 build hardcodes python3 Product: gcc Version: 13.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: modula2 Assignee: gaius at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: ro at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Target: *-*-solaris2.11 When trying to build the current devel/modula-2 branch on Solaris 11.3/SPARC (only tried on 11.4 before), it fails trying to execute python3 unconditionally: python3 /vol/gcc/src/hg/master/modula-2/gcc/m2/tools-src/def2texi.py -b./ -f/vol/gcc/src/hg/master/modula-2/gcc/m2/gm2-libs/Builtins.def > /var/gcc/modula-2/11.4-gcc-modula-2/gcc/m2/Builtins.texi /bin/ksh: python3: not found make[3]: *** [/vol/gcc/src/hg/master/modula-2/gcc/m2/Make-lang.in:167: Builtins.texi-check] Error 127 This happens because Solaris 11.3, unlike 11.4, has no python3 command. It only provides python2.7 and python3.4. I believe this could easily be fixed by using Automake's AM_PATH_PYTHON([3.0]) (or whatever minimal python 3.x version is required), substituting the resulting $PYTHON into Make-lang.in and the scripts that currently hardcode python3 instead.
