            Bug ID: 169163
           Summary: configure doesn't allow to select the python version
                    to use
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 25.8.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Description:
I want to pass a specific version of python and after looking at the configure
script and autotools docs I gather that passing PYTHON is the way to do that.
But running configure just selects the undesired, generic python executable.

I think what happens is, that a code path is hit, where if PYTHON is not null
an AM_PATH_PYTHON invocation is skipped and later PYTHON and some related
autotools variables are unset. Which then doesn't help to direct the real first
AM_PATH_PYTHON call to find the desired python version.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. PYTHON=<myfancyspecificpython> configure--enable-python=system ...
2.
3.

Actual Results:
checking which Python to use for Pyuno... system
checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 3.3... python
checking for python... /usr/bin/python

instead of the desired myfancyspecificpython


Expected Results:
checking for python... /usr/bin/myfancyspecificpython


Reproducible: Always
