Cmake is not able to find Python-libraries

Question

Getting this error:

sudo: unable to resolve host coderw@ll
-- Could NOT find PythonLibs (missing:  PYTHON_LIBRARIES PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS) 
CMake Error at /usr         


        

Answer 1

Note that if you are using cMake version 3.12 or later, variable PythonInterp and PythonLibs has been changed into Python.

So we use:

find_package(Python ${PY_VERSION} REQUIRED)

instead of:

find_package(PythonInterp ${PY_VERSION} REQUIRED) find_package(PythonLibs ${PY_VERSION} REQUIRED)

see https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.12/module/FindPython.html for details.
