From df2042d99ac54f8639f123c8586d9cadcfbb5521 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emil Velikov Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2018 13:40:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] configure: enforce python 2.7 with AM_PATH_PYTHON Currently we use AC_CHECK_PROGS looking for python2.7, python2 and finally python. That is due to the varying names used across the different OS. Use the handy AM_PATH_PYTHON which finds the correct name and checks for the version. Note: python2.7 has been an unofficial requirement for quite some time. Update the docs to reflect that.
