The Fedora /usr/bin/cxxtestgen script calls /usr/bin/python3. NOT python2 or python.
CMake runs /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/cxxtestgen which is linked to python2, and the script fails. I don't quite understand why CMake feels the need to call it explicitly with the Python interpreter that it found instead of using the shebang. Maybe Windows? Eh. I am fixing it in my script by doing this: > FIND_PACKAGE(PythonInterp 3 QUIET) > FIND_PACKAGE(CxxTest) I thought this might help anyone else hitting this. -- Knowledge is Power -- Power Corrupts Study Hard -- Be Evil -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
