[Jsbsim-devel] Python Build Failing on Linux

[Ron J. <wi...@je...>]

I have been unable to build JSBSim for quite some time under linux:

cmake  ../JSBSim-code/
(...)
-- Found PythonInterp: /usr/bin/python (found version "2.7.13")
-- Found Cython: /usr/bin/cython
-- Found PythonLibs: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so (found 
version "2.7.13")
-- Found CxxTest: /usr/include
-- Found Doxygen: /usr/bin/doxygen (found version "1.8.13")
-- Found LSB_Release: /usr/bin/lsb_release
-- Configuring done
CMake Error at python/CMakeLists.txt:89 (add_custom_command):
  Error evaluating generator expression:

    $<IF:$<BOOL:>,--config,>

  Expression did not evaluate to a known generator expression

and then make:

[ 71%] Building Python modules...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "~/Flight/JSBSim-build/python/setup.py", line 3, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools
python/CMakeFiles/PythonJSBSim.dir/build.make:62: recipe for 
target 'tests/jsbsim.so' failed

I have no clue about CMake and Python. How do I fix this? I can live without 
the Python modules, but apparently there isn't a switch to turn the python 
module off?

Thanks,

Ron
