Problem trying to use python2.7 instead of python2.6

[franofcholet]

Hi everyone !

I had some python errors when trying to compile my Webkit. It's because of the python version, so I tried to make webkit compiling with python2.7. I edited the CMakeLists.txt (in the root folder of Webkit) and replaced :
find_package(PythonInterp 2.6.0 REQUIRED)
by : find_package(PythonInterp 2.7.0 REQUIRED)

But it doesnt work, I got an error telling me that cmake could not locate any python >2.7 (and I have 2.7 and 3).

I found a temporary solution : I made a symbolic link : /usr/bin/python2.6--->/usr/bin/python2.7 and kept the former CMakeLists.txt.

But I would like to fixe the problem "properly"... Any advice ?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

As silly as it may sound, you would have to give cmake the path to find your python 2.7
