Configure script has tests for Python (AC_PATH_PROG(PYTHON, python)), but makefiles just say "python" and let make finds whatever there is in PATH, so a wrong version of Python might be used. Mingw-python, for example, which has commandline length limit, which results in errors like: /usr/bin/env: python: Argument list too long GNUmakefile:82317: recipe for target 'DerivedSources/WebInspectorUI/GResourceBundle.xml' failed
Created attachment 250790 [details] [W32] Use confgured Python interpreter Configure script has tests for Python (AC_PATH_PROG(PYTHON, python)), use the interpretor they provide (which is overridable by user by the way of passing PYTHON=... to configure) instead of the first thing found in PATH. Otherwise wrong version of Python might be used. Mingw-python, for example, which has commandline length limit, which results in errors like: /usr/bin/env: python: Argument list too long GNUmakefile:82317: recipe for target 'DerivedSources/WebInspectorUI/GResourceBundle.xml' failed
