You need the latest autoconf-archive as per README, or you can manually get that file as per the FAQ that autogen.sh should have printed. Note that this is only required for git users, it will not be an issue for tarball users (no need for autoconf-archive etc). > Python2.7 was picked up instead of python3.

The libsigrok Python bindings can be used with both, Python 2.x and Python 3.x, they work fine with either version (as per README). Which of those is the default probably doesn't matter much (you can also enforce either of them at ./configure-time as a user), but I personally wouldn't mind making Python 3 the default. > There was no check for python-numpy.

This is bug #533, patches for a portable proper check are welcome. http://sigrok.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=533 > Setuptools was not detected.

Feel free to file a bug if this is reproducible for your setup, despite the correct package being installed.
