Re: [reSIProcate-users] Missing definition for DEPS_PYTHON

[Daniel Petrie <dpetrie@xxxxxxxxx>]

I get the same thing.  That is how I originally ran into this problem.

bash$ ./configure --with-ssl --with-repro --enable-repro-plugins

...

checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no

checking for struct sockaddr_in.sin_len... no

./configure: line 16315: syntax error near unexpected token `DEPS_PYTHON,'

./configure: line 16315: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(DEPS_PYTHON, python >= 2.7)'

Cheers,

Dan

If you specify neither option, it should build without Python - can you
just confirm if that works for you?  I tried it myself and it appeared OK.

According to the manual, specifying either --with-python or
--without-python will always cause that block of code to be executed
(that seems non-intuitive, but that is what it says):

http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/External-Software.html

It appears this is just the way autotools does this - we could add some
logic to detect --without-* but that would just make it all harder to
read configure.ac.
