I'm trying to build gdb with python 2.7.12 installed by pyenv. Python install command was

pyenv install 2.7.12 -k

Then I executed commands like below to build gdb.

wget ftp://sourceware.org/pub/gdb/releases/gdb-8.1.tar.gz
tar xvf gdb-8.1.tar.gz
cd gdb-8.1
./configure  --with-python=$(pyenv which python) --prefix=/usr/local CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wno-string-plus-int"
make

But it failed and I got these errors.

configure: WARNING: MPFR is missing or unusable; some features may be unavailable.
checking whether to use python... /home/useraccount/.pyenv/versions/2.7.12/bin/python
checking for python2.7... no
configure: error: no usable python found at /home/useraccount/.pyenv/versions/2.7.12/bin/python
Makefile:9096: recipe for target 'configure-gdb' failed
make[1]: *** [configure-gdb] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/tmp.GE0OV8nAxG/gdb-8.1'
Makefile:849: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

Build commands work when I link gdb to system python.

./configure  --with-python=/usr/bin/python --prefix=/usr/local CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wno-string-plus-int"
make

I want to use cygdb to debug my cython program but because of this, I cannot run cygdb properly.

Any help will be very appriciated.

The bug appears to be in the configure script. In particular, this command:

gcc -o conftest -g ... conftest.c -ldl -lncurses -lm -ldl  \
  -L/home/useraccount/.pyenv/versions/2.7.12/lib/python2.7/config \
  -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -lpython2.7 -Xlinker -export-dynamic

is backwards (libpython2.7 depends on libpthread, and so should precede it on the command line).

I checked my config.log from current git head, and it has the same problem.

Looking further, GDB runs python python/python-config.py --ldflags when configureing.

Applying this patch:

diff --git a/gdb/python/python-config.py b/gdb/python/python-config.py
index c2b2969c39..0d38ed50c0 100644
--- a/gdb/python/python-config.py

     elif opt in ('--libs', '--ldflags'):
-        libs = []
+        libs = ['-lpython'+pyver + abiflags]
         if getvar('LIBS') is not None:
             libs.extend(getvar('LIBS').split())

         # shared library in prefix/lib/.
         if opt == '--ldflags':

and re-running configure should fix this for you.
