[vbox-dev] [PATCH] support for newer python

[Andreas Löffler]

Sérgio,

easiest would be running configure printing its commands to stderr, e.g.
"sh -x ./configure".

The Python 3.8-rc1 issue probably only is a lack of missing clobbering
for SUPPYTHONLIBS or some sort.



Kind regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen
