Re: [orca-list] Is it possible to specify the python installation to be used when compiling orca?

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Thank you for the suggestion, I found a way of doing what I wanted. For 
those interested just set the PYTHON environment variable at compile 
time and this will get the specified python to be put in the orca shell 
script. For me I did:

PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 ./configure

My problem had been I was looking for an option to give to the configure 
script (eg. --use-python or similar).
