[GNC-dev] GnuCash 3.0 wine versus Windoze 10

[Robin Chattopadhyay]

I *was* enjoying my fresh build until I decided to try again from scratch
in order to get the python bindings incorporated.

So, I already have python2.7 and python3 since I had python bindings
installed with Gnucash 2.6.19 previously. I took your suggestion and
installed python3-pytest, but I'm still getting hung up at the same point:

[ 29%] Linking C shared module ../../lib/gnucash/_unittest_support.so
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libpython3.6m.a(abstract.o): relocation
R_X86_64_32S against `_Py_NotImplementedStruct' can not be used when making
a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libpython3.6m.a: error adding symbols: Bad value

make[1]: *** [common/test-core/CMakeFiles/unittest_support.dir/all] Error 2

make: *** [all] Error 2

I ran dpkg -l | grep pytest which returned:
ii  python3-pytest          2.8.7-4        all          Simple, powerful
testing in Python3
