[SOLVED] cant compile thunderbird

Definitely a problem with python 2 being built in chroot, rebuilding in the 'real' system works, so gonna mark this solved, thanks Luridis.

Just an after thought but as python 3 is part of the basic LFS system now and has to be built in chroot is it prone to the same problems and does it need to be rebuilt when booted to the 'real' system?

I don't know, I always rebuild them once berkeley, etc. is installed. What you can do is look at the compilation summary at the end, it usually lists modules that couldn't be built.

Unfortunately cleared out my logs from then but maybe someone else has kept that info.

Don't know if this is the module, it looks like it going by the name:
/usr/lib64/python3.7/lib-dynload/_multiprocessing.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

I just checked the Modules/_multiprocessing directory of both Python 3.8.0 and 2.7.17 when built in chroot. While the build summary didn't mention it, there were no .o files in that directory for either version. So the answer is yes, Python is less than complete when built in chroot.

thanks for that ( sorry for late reply, been ill ), I have always built most of my system in chroot, quess I'm gonna have to change that, which is a big PITA, oh well life is change!
