From: Chris Smart Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 03:14:23 +0000 (+1100) Subject: package/python: apply unicode config to host build X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=01464f56bd8a61b461fce4c108be299a47a6a405;p=buildroot.git package/python: apply unicode config to host build Currently the host build of Python 2 defaults to narrow unicode (UCS2), ignoring the BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_UCS4 configuration option which may be set to wide (UCS4). This results in host and target Python packages which are incompatible in subtle ways. For example, installing wheels into the target fails when they are made with the host python, citing incompatibility (as can be seen by the package tags which may be "cp27u-manylinux1" instead of "cp27mu-manylinux1"). Compiling the host Python 2 with the same UCS configuration as the target ensures that the packages are compatible (and the tags match). This does not affect Python 3 as support for narrow unicode was deprecated in version 3.3, see https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0393/ Thanks to Tony Breeds for reporting this.
