I tried to follow the instructions in /r-pi/README.md. What I did:
place the files form
https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools in ~/RPI
download
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/armhf/libpython2.7-dev/download and extract the usr folder and place in ~/RPI
followed by
PATH="$PATH:$HOME/RPi/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin"
and
sh autogen.sh; ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf; make -j8 EXTRA_PYTHON_INCLUDES=-I/home/username/RPi/usr/include
now I get an error
In file included from /usr/include/python2.7/Python.h:8:0,
from CppBlockUtils_wrap.cxx:173:
/usr/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h:24:54: fatal error: arm-linux-gnueabihf/python2.7/pyconfig.h: File or path not found
Did I do something wrong?
