Ubuntu 20.04 comes with python3 only AND its shell python command is
python3
notpython
.Older linux distros come with python 2 only.
Two changes to handle this
build.sh
script was dependent on finding python2, this change should cause it to function with python3 or python2jstoc.py
script run as part of buildingch
required a command linepython
command, this change asks CMake to locate a python executable and use it rather than relying on the existence of a command linepython
commandNote this was not an issue in CI because:
a) we don't use
build.sh
in the CI ANDb) the CI machines have a symlink between
python
andpython3
- but this is something in azure CI, it's not default on a blank Ubuntu 20.04 distroCC @fatcerberus
