Series boost: Add Boost.Python NumPy | expand

Commit Message

The Boost build system executes Python in the compile task to
import the Numpy module and print the include directory.

We must specify the python3-native executable in the user-config.jam
so that the python.jam can execute it properly.

Without this change, it specifies a non-existant python executable
and reports "No such file or directory" in log.do_compile.

The original line is already 236 characters wide, so a larger change would be necessary to get it under 200.

Is there a preferred way to deal with this?

Using line continuation seems visually unappealing:

              echo "using python : ${PYTHON_BASEVERSION} "\
": ${STAGING_DIR_NATIVE}${bindir}/python3-native/python3 "\
": ${STAGING_DIR_HOST}${includedir}/${PYTHON_DIR}${PYTHON_ABI} "\
": ${STAGING_DIR_HOST}${libdir}/${PYTHON_DIR} ;"  >> ${WORKDIR}/user-config.jam

Another solution would be to set variables (either bitbake or bash) and then reference them:
               PARAM1="${PYTHON_BASEVERSION}"
               PARAM1="${STAGING_DIR_NATIVE}${bindir}/python3-native/python3"
               PARAM1="${STAGING_DIR_HOST}${includedir}/${PYTHON_DIR}${PYTHON_ABI}"
               PARAM4="${STAGING_DIR_HOST}${libdir}/${PYTHON_DIR}"
               echo "using python : $PARAM1 :$PARAM2 :$PARAM3 :$PARAM4 ;" >> ${WORKDIR}/user-config.jam

Are there any other options to consider?

Regards,
Rob

Don't worry about this one. It is more a warning than a must fix IMO...

Cheers,
